Doing the "Friends" Route Pt 2...

[Abbey]

Journaling: Good Sat night. He's still in: "get a lawyer" mode. He's still in: "she's a terrible mother" mode. He's still in: "all she wanted from me is money" mode. He's still in: "all that woman does is lie!" mode.

I expected he'd slip a little by now, but he knows she lied to him about where his daughter was last night. (Her 13 yr old stayed with the other 4 kids all night alone.)

What's new: This morning, came out of his office to greet me, called me so sexy, and that I'm "fading away" because of my weight loss, and we went for breakfast. More interesting is the convo about me buying a house in town and he very calmly says: I'd really like a double garage. I smile, said: I think that's wise.

Over breakfast: His comments had a lot of "we" in them. We did this when we had our niece stay with us. I can get such and such to help US get her. We, we, we. No negatives about us at all. Lots about OB. More lawyer talk - and him wondering how long it would take to get the show going. Does he "gather info" or does he just toss the suit at her based on what we already have.

We tet home, do some re-arranging of things to prepare this house for company and help pack up stuff for "staging" the house for sale after the new year,... we start laughing: I said, I did see an interesting semi with a double garage, (semi's here have non communal back yards, which we could put in swings, a small pool or whatever.)... there's room for daughters bedroom and... MAYBE you can sleep in the basement. Maybe I might let you up for nightly visits. Maybe I might even make dinner for you once in a while. He laughs, and says: Well there's a lot of maybe's in your comments. I said: Well, that all depends. Maybe you're SMART and you'll be with me. Or maybe your not. *grin* He laughed and hugged me.

A good morning. And yes, I am REALLY trying not to get ahead of the crazy train. (cuz I know full well that there will be many more roller coaster rides of him slipping, getting fearful, getting withdrawl pangs of the OW etc etc etc.) But it's a good baby step forward. All in all, a good 24 hours.
