A man in full

[Truegritter]

And the cow jumped over the moon....

Sometimes I wonder how my life got to be so fantastical.


Friday night. I am out for a beer with my buddy consoling him as he is fighting with his girlfriend.

He is asking me how the hell I got to be so wise...I can't tell him about all my friends here!

I have known this guy for 15 years and he knows exW. He asks me if I ever see exW etc. Did she ever remarry?

I say no. Don't really talk to her or see her.

OK so here is where I say to you all

I sh!t you not (nickel Brooklyn), this is what happens:

My exW calls. I have not heard from her in several months when she found out I moved back to town. And before that it had been at least a year.

We don't talk really. What's the purpose?

I don't answer it goes to voicemail:

ExW: "Hey it's exW, hope you are well. {Business partner}is retiring and was cleaning out his office and found a picture of your mom, my mom and he and put it on my desk. Not sure when it was taken. I thought of you. Anyway I have beeen out of town, was in Australia, which was amazing. I am watching the kids {sister's kids} this weekend because {Sis and Hubby} are going to Gator game. So I'll be around. Anyway I hope you are well. Call me."

About an hour later I phone my parents to let them know I am not coming directly back to their house and I must have accidently hit W's number on speed dial.

So W starts calling me. I dump it to voice mail. She texts. "I missed your call. are u allright. Call me." Calls three more times leaves message "I missed your call. I can't reach you please call me. I am home."

I text W back "I'm OK. I called you by mistake sorry."

What did I put in my Wheaties Friday morning?

Not sure how to respond to exW yet. If at all. My sense is just to respond as I would a friend and just ackowledge it will some well wishes.

Clearly she(exW) is having some moments of clarity ten years post being the wifus infedilus...

As far as W...it just more of the inching back and forth in and out of the tunnel.

She texted me over the weekend about the football game. Made a point to tell me she was watching at home. (So not with OM???)

I don't know and it don't matter.

This is my life. I sh!t you not.

Thanks for listening...

Grit,
Just wondering if XW knows about your current sitch with your W?

What did I put in my Wheaties Friday morning?

I know it is external validation and all that chit that goes along with it.

Still feels good to be paid attention to by the ladies.

Cheers

[Truegritter]

Yes exW knows what's going on with my current W.

She offered to call her and tell her that she is making the biggest mistake of her life when I talked to her (exW) back in March.

Uh no. Not a good idea.

Hey True, I'll take that nickle, thank you. LOL!

Did you for some reason think that you are exempt from the twilight zone?

And nope, not a good idea. But it would be kinda interesting, in a stick a needle in your eye kind of way, to hear what your wife would say to your exw. Dontcha think? Ok, I'm just in a craaazzzy sort of mood.

Hope you have a great day!

We all live in the twilight zone! The fog is the MLC zone. Where the hell is the normal zone!

[MHL]

Where the hell is the normal zone!

On the beach in the Caribbean, preferrably St. Johns or St. Barth's......

If you can't get there I find that a 12 pack of Corona works quite nicely.

Hi Grit,

I was driving by and saw your interesting new development! Makes you wonder if in some alternate dimension your W is sensing XW's renewed interest????

I have a big bowl of popcorn from courageous wife's thread. Thinkin about bringing it over here to watch YOUR thread for awhile..........

Grit, Grit, Grit, cowboy how do you get yourself into these sitches?

OK, it might be alright if your XW calls up your current wife and the conversation goes something like this:

Hello,
This is the X Mrs. Gritter. I see you're making the same 'outta your mind' mistake I did. Well, I have to tell you I've been waiting ten years for this. Now that you're out of the picture, I'm going to see if I could possibly have another chance with him and rectify the biggest mistake of my life...

I'm JK, but it would be interesting in a beotch on wheels kinda way...

LMAO
Very good!

[Truegritter]

I love you guys!

Thanks for stopping by GAG, SA, and Lance.

Yeah I haven't had time to really noodle on what to say to exW yet.

Although certainly not my responsibility (hers) there may be an opportunity for some healing to occur...maybe more of my own.

Might have to visit master Yoda in the northern lattitudes for some wisdom.
