PD, You could be right that some of it could be bravado but I'm getting pretty secure in the fact that our family and I should be worth fighting for and if W is not willing to do that then it really will be her loss. Like I said though...there are good days and there are bad and I have to take each one as it comes and keep working on myself and getting stronger.
So here's an interesting little exchange between W and me that happened a little earlier today that I'd like to get some people's thoughts on. W called me and we had some idle chit chat and she asked how volleyball went last night. I said it was great, we won both matches and it felt really good to be playing again. I told her that I saw some people I hadn't talked to in years and it was cool to catch up. She instantly starts quizzing on who. I said well there was this one girl Amy that I used to play ball with about 7 or 8 years ago. W was like...is she single. I said ummm...no, she's married with two kids. W was like...oh, who else? So I said this other couple that we both know and who knows my ex-girlfriend from before W and W was like...great, now ex is going to know what's going on and be trying to contact you. I was like....huh????
So, what the heck is that all about? It's like the jealousy streak comes out instantaneously and really for no logical reason. I haven't talked to ex for about 5 years....
I just ignored it and moved on to something else. I wanted to say...ummm, you're the one with a boyfriend so why would it matter if ex wanted to talk to me. But that would be wrong in so many ways so I just bit my tongue and let W keep talking.
Seriously, sometimes the stuff WAW does really confounds me.
