Woog, sorry my head was up my arse and I missed your posts entirely............
I think it is excellent that you had that conversation with your ex. The fact that she can recognize you for the amazing man and father that you are, despite her actions, speaks volumes to me. She knows you aren't the problem and never were, it was about something that SHE needed. And she is aware of all the fallout now, looking back at the past year.
I am surprised, like you, that she is fine with moving to a new place. That is a big step to take with an "ex" spouse, not that you would be living together, but just that she would uproot and go with you b/c she knows how much the kids mean to you...
Very interesting conversation...
And I am glad i am not the only "over-thinker" on this board. You know I stay up late at night trying to out-think my problems. Hasn't worked yet, though...
I googled "John deer lingerie" for a hoot after you mentioned it to me. The first link I clicked took me into something called "Porn Tube" and I saw more than I needed to see.....gee thanks brother
Oh well it made me laugh. I am sure you were looking at a DIFFERENT site.....
Okay, I'm not sure what's going on with work. My boss isn't acting like I'm gone and in fact just gave me a bunch of work. But, he hasn't given me any confirmation that I'm not gone.
Honestly if I get all of this work done and then I find out I'm gone I will go off the deep end.
Well, keep records of the work you are doing, so you can use it as a portfolio piece for any interviews/opportunities that come up in the future. That way it won't be a "waste" of time either way.
YEA!!!! No move!! No having to worry if W would really keep the kids close (although that had to be a feel-good moment, I wouldn't want to place all my eggs in that basket).
Hope that there isn't any continuing drama, so the stress doesn't build up for you.
Congrats on keeping your job...........and the drama wasn't a total waste of time and energy b/c in the process you found out some interesting things about your ex and her desire to keep her/your family close regardless......
