BTW - I had an amazing mission trip to Belize!! Thanks for asking. Things as a whole are going well from my side of the fence. I'll be chaperoning a 5th and 6th grader conference (Friday night overnight) Still GAL'ing strong. Sometimes probably too much. I've even managed to make more new friends along the way. One thing I'm not doing for sure is sitting at home sulking in misery.
My W's side of the fence appears to be a different story. Since our last conversation, she has been evicted from her apartment. She still doesn't have a job. She's been sick with a nasty cold for about 3 weeks. She recently moved in with her parents.
She also told me last week (our niece was living with her) that about a month ago our niece had met a guy at a bar. Our niece brought this guy home to live with her. TBH, I was pretty ticked about her inability to lay down a healthy boundary because my S is with my W about half the time. Turns out this guy had a bit of a jaded past. Not cool. You do reap what you sow, and that turned out to be the case with my W. When my W moved out of her apartment, there was a lot of conflict because our niece and her boyfriend had to move out, too. They had nowhere to go. Hopefully my W learned an important lesson.
That situation just magnified that my life and my W's life are going completely opposite directions. It's really brought the thoughts to the forefront of what I want out my life and my M. From my perspective, I want to be in a Christ centered M with both parties committed to working on the relationship. I want to share this new life I've built with someone. As it stands right now, I'm not sure my W is a good fit for that.
