Me 55; XW 47; 2 kids (S13, D11) Bomb 05/19/06 Original thread http://tinyurl.com/yg2ou2t Last anniversary 04/25/10, Divorced 5/12/10 Status: Loving father of 2 beautiful children;
I have still been getting calls and emails from my ex. They all have to do with the kids, but at the same time I can think of only one that had any real importance. I pick and choose which ones to respond to. I keep it about the kids.
I just got back from my daughter's open house. Talk about a zoo! That place was packed! We did get to speak one on one with the teacher for a few as we were the only ones in the classroom.
We ran into 3 couples that we knew and two of them were mutual friends that we used to hang out with. I could really sense the tension between my ex and one of the wives. She used to be one of her good friends, however my ex sent her an email at the beginning of all this that said, "I'm sorry that I don't communicate with you much anymore but married people don't understand me."
Her and her husband both have said that they support me. I have said nothing about this to them. They see it plain as day. I talked and was really upbeat with all of them. It was easy, I am finally at a place of acceptance with all of this and have pretty much let go of everything.
I really didn't say much to my ex. I don't have much to say. It's strange, but I really don't feel much after I see her anymore either. I guess it's all a part of it. It came to mind as I was leaving. I noticed there wasn't really any feelings either way. Sort of odd, but it is what it is.
I'm doing great, things are looking up. These next few weeks are big ones. I have a lot going on, so that's good I guess.
Just popping in. Yeah, that work stuff really does cut down on the social time... I feel for ya Jack. I now spend my days hearing random comments from kids again... lol... I miss the random comments from adults.. haha.. if you could call us that.
