Digging in

I was gonna get a coffee and offered her one, and as we were adding cream, she muttered, "This isn't a date."

shrug your shoulders and say "ok". I probably see myself doing just that.

Apparently she found out about the hot single chick that had been real flirty with me, and she asked me where my "girlfriend" was, and maybe we were "meant to be".

Feels good to be noticed, eh? Both parties on top of that. You dog!

I bit my tongue to not remind her she has hung out more with her EA's family, and I had one conversation.

It's not about who's right.

Sort of exhausting, honestly. The stepkids kept begging to spend the night, but I said no, D13 has been having really bad headaches, and S5 has been really bad, and quite honestly I don't think it's fair to be buddying them up with D pending. I did text W and tell her that I wanted to wait until we had everything settled to determine how to handle kids. I don't want this awkward situation where I'm their dad until W hooks up with a new guy, then it's, "Oh this guy is now your dad". Maybe I'm over thinking that...

I don't think you will stop being their 'Dad' and you are over thinking this.
