best and worse thing to ever go through

[eyesopen]

After thinking about our interactions today, I feel good about how I handled it. Sure I probably could have said things differently, but I am no wordsmith. I am feeling pretty detached, almost carefree about what she does. I have my plans and goals for myself and the kids. Hopefully she will want to rejoin us, but if not that is her choice and I am ok with it. I did strike a nerve with her when she asked about my new credit card. It is a travel perks card. I told her that I want to start traveling and take the kids places. It is something we both shared a interest in when we first got together, but kind of lost sight of it as time went on. She got a little upset, or jealous, when I told her my plans. I quickly diffused the sitch, and she left teary eyed, instead of mad. I would rather have her feeling the sadness than the bitterness. No tears from me, just smiles and happiness.
