Detached, but not Broken-a diary of a LRT

[Broken74]

So the W came correct with the car payment via snail mail over the weekend. She even sent the May payment which was surprising. I could see there was a note with the checks which made me nervous and excited at the same time. Obviously nothing to get nervous or excited about given I am dealing with a WAW likely in the midst of a MLC. Here's the note:

H,

I hope you are well. Enclosed is this month's payment and a post-dated check for next month's payment (so it's not delayed by my forgetfulness).

I am working on a plan to repair the bumper and sell the car. In the meantime I bought SS1 a very cheap car to show an installment loan on my credit in case the car doesn't sell and I have to attempt to secure a private loan again.

Hoping to have all of this taken care of and off your credit soon.

Thanks for your patience!

W

Even I can't muster something worth mind-reading out of this one. So obviously I am not responding in any way and will maintain my darkness with the exception of cashing the check.

Less than 4 months until the eligible D-filing day. I haven't seen her or my stepkids since Mid-February and I have no idea what or how any of them are doing for all practical purposes. I think I am starting to get the hint here... lol

A bit of a minefield in the month of May... 2 year anniversary of her surgery on the 6th and 2nd anniversary on the 21st. Have to mentally prepare to do nothing on these days lol.

Other than the fact that I still love my W and can't get her or my stepkids out of my head, life is great! GAL activities out the wazoo, very little free time, and I can't say I'm lonely. The problem is I'm not spending time with the woman I want to be with...

So time to hunker down for the 4th quarter... The only way she'll know I exist is when my 529k contributions hit my stepkids accounts. What a long hard road this is...

Good luck to all in your respective sitch's!
