Those conversations have to be hard. W and I don't have those kind of talks. She never shows any interest in what I'm doing whatsoever. I don't know if it's an act or if I'm that dead to her. She'll try to slip in stuff about her life and her job and her family and, ever since Jan. 1, I just go completely silent when she does that.
I know it's petty and I need to grow up a bit, but I'm still not ready for some unemotional friendship.
I had a friend tell me she's been divorced six years and is completely over any of the old feelings. She even knitted a sweater for the baby her ex is having with the GF he left her for.
She wanted to show her kids how to be the bigger person.
I just thought wow. I don't know if I'll ever be there, but it will be hard on my kids if I don't figure something out.
You are obviously doing better than I am, but you are farther down the path.
