I thought about moving my thread to one of the divorced forums, but just too lazy.
Not much new to report. D18 got accepted to every college she applied to. Decided she's going to be a Gator. Now we have to swing the finances.
XW finally got a new job that she seems comfortable with (doesn't hate) teaching middle school. Funny, she's been "going out of town" about once a month since the bomb, but this past week she was on spring break and stayed home. Don't know if that's any reflection on her A.
I've been pretty much enjoying life in my own way. I'm a home body, work around the house, stay in shape, March madness with drinking buddies, simple stuff. What some would call boring, others would call contented. XW is the exact opposite of course. Now she's taking golf lessons, another item on her bucket list I expect. Sometimes I wonder how we wound up together in the first place.
No lady friends for me yet. I'll wait until she moves out. It can't come soon enough, since I've been starving for pleasant female company for what seems like a hundred years now. But I'll never second guess letting S13's mother stick around for a little while for his sake.
The room mate interactions are "cordial", mostly about the kids. I'm trying to decide though, we agreed she moves out when D18 graduates. That date is looming closer. I desperately want my master suite back, been bunking in S13's bedroom forever. Should I proceed as planned or offer XW D18's bedroom? I dunno. I don't want it to look like "I" still want her around, KWIM? Is that even important? I'm not a doormat and don't feel like one. S13 would be devistated when we seperate.
Any thoughts?
