Well I'm still in the house! Asked my ExW for an extra day to move and was pleasantly surprised by a nice answer "stay in the house until Wed 5th if you like". So that was a surprise especially after going to court to argue about the dog LOL.
The woman I'm dating is a lot of fun. She is a great conversationalist, very affectionate, very loving. I've been invited to all the upcoming holiday functions and have been advised that I will be the subject of some pranks from family members since she hasn't dated in a while and I'm 10 years younger than she is. Should be fun.
We had our first serious relationship talk and she agreed that I'm not ready or even close to ready for settling down. I promised her honesty, respect and open communication. We are exclusive right now. We both like it that way for alot of reasons. No promises or expectations other than that.
To sum it up.....we're having alot of fun. Big change from the last years of my marriage. There is a commensurate amount of mutual nurturing going on and it feels good to both of us.
I understand what you going through. You're going to make it just fine. I know it doesn't feel like it at times, but you will. Take care of you. Right now your W can not. I wish you all the peace and happiness you deserve and will keep praying and hoping for a good outcome. You're doing the right things here. Don't let fear hold you back.
