New to the Divorce Situation

[DDogs]

UPDATE:

Went to pick up kids on Sat am , and told W car insurance is now hers as of 1/1, also after 3 requests to change our joint cell phone acct, I told her next week I'm closing it and she needs to get her own..

Could tell W not pleased.. (Break out the 2x4's)

Opinions: To keep some mystery going, give the impression that I was going out/possibly a date ..I Made one change with the weekend plans for the kids, originally I was going to have them Sat to Sun.

Now, I told her I had plans for Sat eve, I would bring the kids back Sat nite and then come get them Sunday, keep them and take them to work with me on Monday (work allows kids).

I brought the kids and pizza back after a full day at about 6:30, I stayed and ate dinner with them, W was busy doing laundry. I made it a point to keep checking my watch and W noticed. We spoke and finalized the info on insurance and phones.

I ask about finalizing plans for the Xmas holiday W says, "Well since I have new bills, I won't be traveling back to the parents for xmas" (Awwww, I could tell she was not happy)

I did not bite on her comment and did not reply.. (a 180 for me)

I initiated leaving, I looked at my watch stood up and told W I had to go, but would be back in the AM for the kids...W then interrupts and asks if I was still going away over the holidays. I replied that now with the new info that she was not going, I could finalize mine and will get back to her mid week.

Felt so good, empowering for me to be operating on my schedule. I just find it hard to sustain that good feeling....

Mornings/just waking up are still very sad for me and I find myself thinking about my M..
