I have spoken to my wife almost every hour of the weekend, and I haven't called her once, unless I was returning a missed call!!!
I have spent loads of time with my kids, and it's all been great!!!
Started on Friday, got some good news on the new house, and I also signed the papers handing the family home to my wife, she seemed pleased when I told her it was signed, then she asked how I felt, I told her I was fine, it had hurt me more when we split, this was just bricks and mortar.
Friday night I had the kids, we laughed and went out, wife called loads just to chat basically, spent more time talkin to me than the kids!!
Saturday, I spent the day with my son at a sports event, daughter was with wife, but again she called me every hour asking what was happening, she was really interested. When I took son back on Saturday night, wife asked if I was ok, I said I was fine, I had a little cold, but I was great.
Sunday morning she called me early, to ask why I didn't call to speak to the kids on Saturday night, I said I had been with my son all day, and that our daughter had friends sleeping over, so she wouldn't have been interested in talking to me, then she said the SHE want to speak to me, about something trivial again!!, but she hadn't called as I might have been out. I said I was home all evening, and she should have called. She then asked if I was ok again, I said I was fine, she then said that although we "hated" each other, she laughed as she said it, that she was always there for me to talk to!!!!!!
I said thanks, I didn't hate her and I was fine, she laughed.
Then I went for the kids, took son to football, then went for the photo session with them both, it was great fun, and the pics will be amazing.
When I took them back, i had changed clothes from earlier and was looking good, if I say myself, for the photo session, wife came out to talk, and just stood looking at me, she then looked away, then was looking out of the corner of her eye, i just smiled to myself!!!
She was asking how it went, my clothes etc, all really really friendly.
I then left and went home.
A few hours later another call!!!!
She and our son had tried to "fix" his bike, got it wrong, and could I go over to fix it. So I did, again it was all friendly, we laughed and sorted it out, then I left.
This weekend has felt like we were a family again, but apart if that makes sense!!!!
The calls from wife were just little checking up calls, how you doing calls, all nice and we laughed most of the time.
Before when we got on this well, my happiness would be tinged with sadness, as I would start to feel sorry for myself, but now I just accept it for what it is.
It was a good weekend, with some good times,some laughs, and my relationship with my kids and wife was great. But I now accept that that's all it was, we are not getting back together now, and she isn't missing me. I won't call her until she calls me, and it was fun while it lasted.
One thing I have thought though, if I was OM, working away, and my "girlfriend" was having so much fun, and conversations with her "ex-husband", I don't think I would be too happy!!!!!
