Yes, I did sell my home. I actually closed on what would of been my 10th wedding anniversary. Not how I pictured celebrating that day, but it is what it is. I tried to look at it like it was a new beginning.
Ex was not at closing, he gave power of attorney to his lawyer.
Keep your fingers crossed, I brought a new house. It's a house that has been rebuilt from the bottom up so everything is new. It's much smaller than my old house but I like it. It's right around the corner from my old house. I am hoping to close sometime at the end of November. Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything goes smoothly.
In the meantime I am living in a townhouse rental. It's not bad, but it doesn't feel like home to me. It's pretty small so most of my stuff is in storage. It's kind of stressful living like this. Thankfully it's just short term.
The boys are doing pretty good, thanks for asking Snodderly. My five year old started Kindergarten and loves it! He is the age my oldest was when all this first started and now my oldest is in the 3rd grade!
School is ok. I was taking 6 classes but dropped one. My five year old came down with Lyme disease last month so I need some free time to take him to the doctor. He is all better now, thank God! Of course ex blamed it on me that he got Lyme disease. Whatever.
Ex seems to be doing really well. He and ow remodeled their house and had a house warming party recently. According to ex's grandmother ex seems very happy, ow treats the children like they are her own, and the kids seem to love it there. Lovely. Not sure why the Grandmother felt the need to tell me that, but that is one of the reasons I don't talk to her much. We rarely ever talk because the Grandfather, her husband, doesn't want us talking. When I do talk to her, which, is not that often, I tried to keep it to other stuff besides ex.
I keep having these dreams lately that ex and ow are getting married and she is pregnant. Don't know what that is all about.
I do know that I no longer love ex. I have no desire to want him back. I do miss the old husband but I know he is not coming back. I honestly believe that most MLCers do not come back. Sorry to any newbies reading this, but that's reality. Sure some come back, but those are usually the ones that keep some kind of connection. There is no connection with my ex and I.
Oh and I forgot to mention. Ex has never mentioned the ow or her name to me since he left. One day when he was picking the boys up he casually brings her up in a conversation. I quickly shut him down and said "I don't care to hear anything about her" and he kept talking. I said again, "I don't want to hear it" and then he told me I needed to get over him.
He needs to get over himself.
Well there is an update. I am sure I left out lots of stuff.
