I had only a brief interaction with my W last night before I did my Tuesday GAL activity of my Healing Relationships group at my church. I ended up calling her because I hadn't heard from her because she was coming to pick up my S. She had gotten tied up at work. Kind of funny, she had issues years ago with me getting tied up at work and being a little later than I wanted to be.
Had a great group meeting last night. It seemed to quell my anxiety I was feeling yesterday. Also, since I'm still the only guy in this group, it's very helpful to get the female perspective.
I get home last night, and my W's car is in the driveway. (She had texted but I missed it). She had spent the time with my S in the area and thought it would be easier for him to spend the night with than for her to take him to her apartment with her and turn around and bring him to school this morning. OK with me, it just meant I had my S for an extra night this week.
She also said that my S wanted to talk about the pet thing. During our conversation she openly admitted that she didn't think it through, that she had left behind 3 pets and a problematic situation. That tells me she really listened when we had our conversation on Monday evening. This is progress for us, as we always tended to sweep issues under the carpet. It was a 180 for me that I called her out on it and presented my perspective. Actually it was a 180 for her not to just be defensive from the outset. I'm seeing positives with this particular incident, regardless of what happens in the end. Hopefully this positive wasn't just an isolated incident. We didn't come to a conclusion on what we're going to do, but the important thing to me was we talked about it. I thanked my W for listening and bringing up the topic when she was on her way out.
This morning it was 28 degrees out. I got a 3 mile and change run in. Or as I told someone else, I ran for over 5300 yards this morning.
I'm feeling considerably better today than yesterday.
