However, I'll start with good stuff. I had my S this weekend. Friday night we went to Kings Island for a couple hours. Saturday, we slept like teenagers. I took my S to a Reds game in the evening. Sunday morning I got up and burned off a 8.7 mile ride. We went to church on Sunday morning and went to Kings Island again last night. This morning I ran 3 miles. Tonight I have a softball game.
So yesterday afternoon, I texted my W asking her if she would like to meet at Starbucks to discuss some sticking points. She agreed later in the day and we met. We started off with small talk and eased into discussing the sticking points. I think as far as the driving, we both had suggestions on being somewhat flexible. So that was good - we were able to brainstorm a bit.
Then we got into some of my major sticking points and the conversation got uncomfortable. I ask her what she thought about putting a clause in the D about restricting overnight visitors when we have our S. We are NOT in agreement at all on how appropriate or inappropriate it is. Some of you that didn't see in the previous thread - about a month ago I had to pick up my S in the middle of the night when he saw something he shouldn't have. From her perspective, or at least what she says (and it COULD all be alien spew), it's no different than when her brother walked in our her parents. From my perspective, it's totally inappropriate for that to even be a possibility. During the conversation, I also mentioned I didn't feel it was appropriate for her to have OM of the week with her when she picked up or dropped off my S. Anyway, that conversation did not end well. She got and left. I expected it. I was coming at it from the perspective of going to bat for my S. I did feel I needed to make it clear where I stood. I am less concerned with being right or wrong or the fact there's a OM in the picture. The latter just makes it easier to drop the rope. All I can say is it was very therapeutic to go to Kings Island and ride the Drop Tower a couple times with my S.
I may have been out of line last night, but I asked my S last night if the OM had a job or had a car. Survey says: no to both. Actually, it's what I thought.
