Things are going pretty well. My major hurdle is w/my finances, but I'm on the path to correct them shortly and then I'll be able to assemble some semblance of a budget.
I'm pleased w/how things are going w/GF and we've had some good talks in the past few days. GF is careful and cautious, probably "over-cautious" b/c she's been burned w/bad men in the past. I understand and also know in time she'll come to be 100% certain that I'm like no man she's ever met.
Right now, she thinks it, but she's afraid to believe it. She will in time. I'm consistent which is what she hasn't had before.
She told me today "Your version of slow is probably no where near mine, but I'm kind of a freak about things." I just laughed. I know she's cautious and right now, I'm totally fine w/going slow. If it is to develop, why would I need to rush anything?
I had a great conversation w/one of the parents from my D's school last night and we discussed how our divorces are very similar and how we were both "yes" men which got us nothing but divorced.
It is intersting to know there are so many peole living parallel lives to mine. It was also great to sit down w/another confident and successful man and talk to him about how much our divorces have changed us for the better.
To be completely honest, I even said I owed my XW a huge "thank you" on two points: One for giving me my beautiful D6 and the second for divorcing me so I could find myself, live for me and finally be on the path to being truly happy.
Who would have thought that I'd need to be divorced to find true happiness?
RTL PS - Hey, Kalni! I know the two words you'd like to tell my XW include "you" at the end, but I think the first word would probably not be "thank" but something that rhymed w/"duck" instead.
