It feels weird that the kids are so excited about me dating! But it seems like they already don't think of me as married, so it's probably a good thing.
I really, really, really don't understand why W let the cat out of the bag. She really isn't one to talk without thinking, especially to the kids. When I told her, I thought about asking her to not tell the kids, but I didn't think I had to.
I talked to her about it again today, after we talked about for S11's schooling. It seems the system is fighting her, so it may be interesting. She can be a bit of a bulldog, and S11 told her to fight them. She told him they were going to fight her tooth and nail, he told her to use bullets. (She said he said that he tried to think of something short of bullets, but couldn't!) Anyway, I mentioned dating before the D was final. She again said that she didn't have any problem with me dating. Then she said that she was using the lack of D as an excuse when she was approached! She said she wanted to be on her own for a while first. She said a guy at work asked her if she was going to date, and she said she was waiting for the D. She told me it was an excuse, not a reason.
I told her I was working on the paperwork. She said she wanted to be done by the end of the year. I'm good with that.
