Recovering after a same sex affair - Part 3

[sparks14]

I was pretty miserable yesterday, but a funny thing happened. I took myself out of sadness and turned around my attitude. Roller coaster going back up? Yep.

I sent my W a text that she had forgotten to grab something for S when she was here in the morning. She replied that she wanted to come back over for it after S nap. She came over at 5:00 as I was getting off work.

My attitude and confidence was shining. When she walked in, she immediately let me hold S. She then asked if I wanted to give S a bottle. Of course I did. I told her that I really missed S when they left this morning. She gave me a sincere "awww". She then mentioned that she knows how hard it is to let go of him after spending a few days with him. I agreed.

W and I had great casual conversation and banter for about an hour. She grabbed a few things around the house to take with her. I had no objections to the items she took and we were both in a positive mood.

I had to leave for therapy at 6:00. She was wanting to stay around the house for a bit, but we discovered that she was parked behind me, so we both left. Smiles from both sides as we left.

I took my attitude into therapy and had a great session there. Took it back home after. Made dinner and watched a movie. Enjoyed my evening. Never considered texting or contacting W at all.

I am discovering that I am in control of my mood and can act as needed to turn it around. Happiness is a choice, right?
