Good time with friend from New Hampshire. He said he and his ex have such a good relationship that they shared a bottle of wine when she broke up with her rebound relationship.
He just broke up with his -- they met the night before the D was final -- last week. He said she's never been married and he didn't see things working out long term with his kids.
That takes discipline.
I honestly can't imagine getting to a point where I could talk to STBXW about a romantic relationship. That's going to be hard for me. I've never had to worry about that.
Before me, the longest STBXW went out with anyone was three months. She had a series of guys who dated her until they got what they wanted and moved on. I knew of some of those guys and I was jealous. It's going to take a long time to let go.
My friend said it's taken two years to get to that point so he thinks I'll get there. I don't feel like it today.
My goal for the rest of this year is to act "as if" when I see STBXW. "As if" I don't care. Rushing the girls out of the apartment Sunday was the wrong thing to do.
I'm still going to do my best not to talk to or see STBXW, but I know I can't avoid it entirely. I feel good because we're in a stretch where I may not have to see or talk to her for a month.
Friend from last night gave me another thing to think about. I told him I'm undecided on whether to go to the final court date for the D. If evertything is decided I don't have to.
He said he didn't want to, but he did go so he'd save money. Instead of having his attorney go he went. That makes sense to me -- but I don't know.
How did everyone else handle it?
