I took down the pictures at work, does that count? At home, not yet.. but thinking about it. The problem is the more I disconnect, it seems like, the more he disconnects too. I know, it is for the best but I feel like I'm just pushing him towards her when I cut those strings. Last night, he called because he is taking the girls tonight since he can't tomorrow...I said, "great, just bring them home before 8, I'll be home by 8". He got a little defensive and said, "well, I was thinking of picking them up and hanging out at the house, but I'll take them to my apt. if you don't want me at the house". I said, "I don't care, I won't be home". I called later that evening b/c D5 wanted to tell him something about school. We had a nice chat then. He keeps asking me "how are you?" - it reads like he wants to make sure I'm ok - to proceed with d? I don't know. He did tell me that he saw a friend of mine's wife at a restaurant on Monday but didn't say hi to her (so obviously, he was with OW). Now all my co-workers will get to find out why he left, lovely.
About the going out and getting hit on, well, I'm not sure how he'd hear about it ... plus, I'm a pretty shy girl. I HAVE NOT DATED SINCE I WAS 15!!! Other than H. I don't know how to flirt to even get hit on. Trying to GAL the best I can, have a game night with single parents on Friday that I met through a meetup organization.
Question: H's birthday is next Thursday. I had originally invited him to eat (early) with me and the kids... it's on his reg. scheduled pickup day with the girls. Should I go? Should I give him a present... was thinking of buying a fossil. He likes fossils. Not too personal? I don't know. Any help is appreciated.
Also thinking of dropping a few $$$ on a DB coach.... nothing I'm doing is really affecting him at all. He has a new life with OW and I'm out of the picture.
