This is from a girl I know sort of became a WAW. I say sort of bc the two aren't married but have dated for several years and have a 2 year old D. She decided early last fall that she wanted to be free of the R. She decided that the two would split the time with their D2 and go their separate ways. The man, as usual, wanted to stay together and work on things. Sound familiar to anybody?
Anyways, I heard a couple of weeks ago that the two had gotten back together. I was happy to hear this, but the DBer in me couldn't help but wonder what brought about the change. So I decided to text the "WAW." Here's how it went.
M: gotta ask what changed your mind about LBS
WAW: ummmm...well he agreed to do counciling with me. He started taking responsibility for D2 and started putting her in front of all of his bar stuff. I had a hard time sharing D2 and it really bothered me that we weren't a family. So I wanted to try to make it work.
M: I hate not being a family too. We both miss D2 but W doesn't seem to think it is enough. I am just making sure I am there for D2 when I can be.
WAW: yeah that's good. Every time me and LBS broke up it was bc only one of us was trying to make it work. This time both of us are trying and it makes a huge difference.
M: I wouldn't give W another chance unless I felt we were both gonna work at this.
WAW: true...we were both hesitant on getting back together bc we didn't want to go through a break-up again.
From there the conversation changed to helping the LBS find a new job in our area. They would like to move down by us.
Here's the kicker of the story...the WAW is my W's cousin!
