The concert should be fun. I'm not sure how D will take to it, but if she enjoys it, we'll have a blast!
Today was D's Kindergarten graduation and I met XW there and we sat together. She is very pleasant (even w/my giving her my pension figures and asking for hers this past week) and D invited her to lunch w/us afterward.
We went to sushi and at the end, XW paid, even though we'd invited her to join us. I said "why are you paying? We invited you?" and she said "that is why I'm paying." So, I thanked her and overall the lunch was nice.
When we were leaving, XW started to cry and after D was in the car, she looked at me and said "are you ok?" I was and answered "I'm fine." I thanked her again for lunch we left. She was crying harder as she walked away.
So, it is nice we can hang out and be civil and I'm guessing she's starting to have her regrets creep into her thoughts. It is unfortunate, but it is also in the past.
My future is moving forward, not looking backward.
Ultimately, maybe this will allow us to have a good relationship w/each other over D as we still have another 12 years plus college to get through...then the wedding...then the grandkids...etc. It isn't over w/her by a long shot, I'm afraid, so I hope we can get along.
Gotta go. It's 101 here and I'm off to take the new graduate to the pool.
