Thanks 25. I thought W quit her job from my interpretation of her email. I spoke with her the other day and I had it wrong, she hasn’t quit her job yet. She's been working part time for years and she's recently decided to look for full time work.
In terms of my age, haaaaa. Sh!t, I wish I was in my 20's. And the Christmas thing, she's taking the kids cross country to visit her parents and I don’t plan on raising an issue about it. It will be very hard regardless of the plans I make.
I was with OW the other day and we were driving her fancy convertible sports car around town. I was the driver and she was the passenger. I was driving around a sharp corner and ended up spinning out. Her car was pretty much totaled but luckily nobody got hurt. She's really pissed at me, understandably so. I can confidently say OW is no longer in the picture, (by her choice). Oh well, I will be just fine.
Things have continued to be very difficult but I am thankful I am doing a great job detaching. I’ve come to terms with what's happened with W. I still love her a lot but the rollercoaster isn’t as big as it used to be. The highs and lows have leveled out. My W and our sitch used to be on my mind all the time. It's now just a brief thought from time to time. Love to my DB family!
