I don't need to validate her decision, though, and also find it distasteful to do anything like this in front of my d15. Heck, I've been without a woman for nearly 10 years, so a few more months don't matter.
If she does go out with someone else, that changes everything, and would be a really hurtful blow. There is a woman who has emailed me a few months ago, maybe 20 years my junior though, who it would be nice to see again, but I choose not to just now.
Those are the expectable crisis points, by the way: selling the house, her going out with someone else, me going out with someone else, moving, telling the kids about this, telling others about this. I am sure each will hurt, and do not look forward to any of them.
Yes, I think she did the magazine thing. I've had 'signs' from her before, and why would my daughter do this?
