Been out of town since Sunday morning until August 31st! Thank you for checking in with me! I have been reading, just haven't been really posting.
Sitch is kind of stagnant right now. I haven't had contact with her face-to-face since August 8th when she came over in the morning to wish the kids a good 1st day of school. A few texts here and there about kid exchanges & when I was leaving town, along with the one about if I had time to review the paperwork.
I have not had contact (ZERO) since Aug. 16th, when I responded to her to let her know what Starsky suggested I say. She hasn't contacted me either, but I am ok with this. Maybe too ok?? Is that possible anyone to be too ok with not having any contact??
I have been talking with kids everyday for awhile each day. I feel for them, because they have displayed misery with being with her while I am gone & keep asking me why I had to leave for 2 weeks. They will be ok though, and it will most likely be good for her. She is in school full time, teaching again full time, and has kids with her full time. So she is being very short & angry with them, so that is why I feel for them.
The kids have taken a huge liking to the new Daddy over the last almost 6 months, and have definitely not enjoyed the current Mommy. I was always a good Father, but now I consider myself as becoming a GREAT Father.
If W wants to jump on board and ride with us then I will still be here wanting her to return. But if she is still set with going through with the "D", then for some reason lately It really doesn't bother me. I think I can maintain my own happiness without her. Of course a lot of that has to do with having my kids around me a lot.
After reading through and receiving advice from Starsky & Denver, I know that I am definitely in for a Marathon based on how long it took them to start piecing their M back together. Make no mistake though, I truly want to be with her for the rest of my life, but I don't NEED to be with her for the rest of my life.
