went on my first date last week and had a great time. also had coffee with another woman who seems to send signals that she's interested in getting to know me better. Boy am I rusty at this, though! Even so, I did pretty good. Only weird thing was how easy it was to fall into "couple" patterns even though I was on a first date. Has anyone else experienced that?
am getting ready to head out to black rock city for a week of fun under the sun. boy will i be a lot more relaxed this year! Last year I was facing a meeting with D judge 2 weeks after I got back.
still find myself asking "why wouldn't XW even make an attempt to work on M" but that's a hopeless road. It's just too strange to me that she wanted to end the R so badly but now is trying hard to maintain a connection. when I'm done, I'm usually done.
Here's another article for your opinion. A friend sent it and I guess it was good for me to read. I like being validated (as you all know) that I wasn't a fool for trying to save M. I know this woman's experience won't be the same for all people, but I do wonder if my XW will ever regret her actions or if she is in all ways happier now. Personally, I've become happier for myself, but my life is also so different from where I imagined it'd be heading. I can't say I would have chosen the directions I felt forced into by the D. Still sorting out the aftermath, I guess. Anyway, here's the article:
