I was leaving today to pick up little man from school...
Had to use the ladies room first...
Came out of the restroom and caught a glimpse of a young man going into my office...
My oldest son...
I haven't seen him since February - What a sight he was...
Handsome as ever - Then it dawned on me - He lives an hour away so what is he doing at my office in the middle of the day and how did he get there?...
You guessed it...
My H was there...
I had no choice but to take a deep breath and go down the stairs...
He was parked next to my sisters' car...
I walked out laughing and smiling with my S...
Waved a little to H and walked over to the car...
Put my stuff in the car and faced my S...
Asked him about school...
Life etc...
He gave me a big hug then got into the car...
H tried to hug me from the drivers side window (AS IF!)...
Since I wasn't budging he got out of the car...
He came to hug me and while I tried to stiff arm him, it didn't work...
He looked me up and down as I did the same to him - He didn't say anything at first - I said and I quote - "You look like s**t" (Yes I spoke before I thought)...
His hair hasn't been cut in months and he looks like he gained about 15-20lbs...
Scruffy is how he looked...
He started asking about little man...
Let him know he was fine and I was off to pick him up from school...
He started talking about his heart problems and his Dr. I listened because I am nice like that.
I also let him know that we were best friends long before we got married and I would prefer to keep the friendship for the sake of the boys...
And then I did it - I asked about the troll...
Me - Where is your girlfriend?
Him - Who?
Me - M - Where is she?
Him - At work
Me - Are you still together?
Him - I don't know.
Me - See ya...
He got the look on his face - The one he always got right before he said "I love you" and before he uttered a word, I turned with a smile on my face and walked away.
Not 10 minutes later I started getting nice texts from him...
This is the nicest he has been in over a year and I can say without any conviction 3 things...
I am fully detached!
I didn't "feel" anything!
I no longer need his validation! See G - I admitted it to all!
