So wow! It seems likes ages since I've last posted. Here is something that I have learned. Peicing requires a lot of time, and that is only increased when changing jobs. 8)
Since last post. I / We have been rebuilding emotional connections. I did get the STD testing (results that is), that I had wanted. No Contact seems to be in effect. W and I have had one of the difficult convos re: what all happened / her version vs mine. It overall went well. She continues to make plans for us / the family. To be honest, I like, but I'm fearful of a repeat of everything that happened. Perhaps going through this magnifices the risk that many of us would have otherwise taken for granted in trying to have a meaningful R with someone else. Risk vs reward? I'll do my best to stop back sooner than later. Tomorrow is my first official day at the new job.
Side note, the underhanded co-worker also got a job where I'll be. They had a full time equivialent position similar to the one that he tried to steal from me. Good thing I never said any cross words towards him.
