Recovering after a same sex affair - Part 3

[sparks14]

S and I are at my sister's place while my W is moving. Very surreal. I had to meet her this morning to grab a few things before I took off for the day. The baby was napping, so we spend another hour together. I stayed super positive.

I even made our bed up with all of the big pillows including her monogrammed one with her married initials. Our bed is huge and comfortable. It was the first thing she went for this morning.

If any of you have been following my story since the day I called her with the laffy taffy jokes a few weeks ago, you will understand the next move.

To break the ice, I went into the other room and came back with two small laffy taffy candies. I tossed one to her on the bed and had one myself sitting in our bedroom chair. As she was eating her candy, she read me her two jokes and then I told mine. We both laughed for awhile. As innocent, childish, and corny those jokes are, I knew she liked them. It was one of those small moments for me to show her that I had detached from the emotion of her moving out.

I know most of you want to make sure I am taking care of myself today. That is the advice I have been given lately. My S and I went to my sister's place where my mother is in town. S and his grandmother are having a ball today. I am relaxing, and we are about to run some errands together. It is nice spend the day together, and I would never trade it in for the world.

My W mentioned that she would come back by the house to pick up our S and some of his things. I told her that I did not want for her to be at our house when I got home (my mother is with me and I know they don't want to see each other), and that I would be happy to drop S off at her new place. She told me that she was not ready to show me her new place, and agreed that she would meet me in our driveway later. Not sure what to make of that, but I guess it is what it is.

I am sure that seeing the house without her things will hit me like a brick wall, but preparing myself for it might make it a little easier and less emotional.
