Hope all is well. I have visited my D lawyer two times and things are moving fast. Becuase the W and I have already agreed on a settlement, the lawyer anticipates we will be D before the end of the year.
She is looking to buy a new house and seems happy with this direction. I was helping her move some of our daughters furniture yesterday and I asked her where she was looking to buy. She said she wanted to stay close to me and mentioned she liked a house that is only a few blocks away. I told her it might be a little weird if she moved into a house that was too close. She did not entirely understand why.
I have not asked any more questions about the OM and do not plan to do so. The more I know, the more it will hurt. I am also doing my best to limit contact with her but having kids makes that difficult. For example, she starts a new job on Monday and needs to be at the office by 8:00am. When she has the kids, she has to drop them off at school at 8:00am. I work at home so I told her when she has the kids she can drop them off at the house and I will take them to the bus stop and that way she can get to the office in time. She told me she really appreciated that. In any case and although limited, I will being see her more and I am worried about that affecting the "moving on" process.
I am also jealous of her right now. From my perspective she seems to have everything. She has her freedom, she gets to see and have the kids based on our parenting plan, and when she does not have them, she gets to spend her free time with the OM who provides her with everything else she needs. I realize this is not a very healthy way to look at things but it is hard not to do so at this point in time.
