WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 10

[confusedinpa]

As for your interaction with your W, you shouldn't have told her you were joking about finding someone. She was obviously fishing to be sure you were still free for her. After all, she doesn't want to give up her security blanket until she's found another.

Don't fall for it. That's why I think the less time you see each other the better.

I know it was a mistake as soon as I said it - that's a big problem I have, speaking before thinking.

The context was really involving not whether I would find someone else, it was more of how I joked why would it take as long as 2 weeks to find someone else. So the part that I said I was joking about was asking why does she think it would take that long.

A subtle nuance, but I do agree with your point. I should have just let it go. I think I read in Sandi's post in another thread, that I need to learn that I don't have to answer every question/comment. This would have been one that was better left without a response.

Lesson learned.

Right now, I'm not expecting to see her again until Sun morning when she picks up the boys. It seems like such a long time to not see her, but at the same time, it seems like I will only have the boys for 2 more days.

I know I have to keep focusing on me and working on me.

This still s*cks though.....
