While I am saddened by my D -- it is a sort of death -- I can now reflect and think that I staying M'ed to a person like xW, as she is now, would have lead to an early grave for me anyway. So I'm looking on it as my release from bondage. Bad for her, good for me.
In other news, I have made arrangements to move to a new apartment complex, to be within the district of S9's school (it will be S5's school this Fall.) Otherwise , neither of them would be eligible. S9 likes the school and his circle of friends there. Plus it's a top-rated school.
The new apartment, although roughly the same size, and with the same amenities will be about $300 cheaper -- that's going to be a significant boon to my finances.
The only rub is that this is the same apartment complex that xW lives in right now. Unfortunately, this is the only set of apartments within the school's district.
I haven't said anything to xW yet. I don't plan to either. For one thing, she'll eventually learn the news through our S's anyway. For another, she had suggested it herself last year, and probably expects it already. I had merely resisted the idea, for obvious reasons, trying to search out other accommodations in the area, such as a house for rent. As it turns out, however, this was the only game in town, so to speak.
Besides, she plans to move out herself in August. It won't be too long that we have to endure the thought of being in such proximity of each other. If she were staying put I would never relocate there. No way.
I am sort of getting charged up now because this has been a goal of mine, to move to a cheaper place, and as such marks a milestone in my move forward again. This plus a few other occurrences happening at the same time give me more encouragement. Things are looking up.
