Me 1 year on pt2.

[hotwheelsaust]

Well back home.
The W caught the same plane down as me. She didn't see me at the airport, nor on the plane, nor getting off the plane. Since she didn't want me to stop her being happy, I made sure she did the first move. She didn't. No mindreading, maybe she simply didn't see me.
Anyway, she certainly doesn't look like she is a very happy person.
Party went very well. I was there first, so said hello to everyone as they walked in. Gave the a kiss and a cuddle and acted like a friendly neighbour, including the same to the wife.
I then spent the whole night going from group to group, chatting, listening and even validating. The wife stayed away from me and I made sure I didn't stay near the wife.
She said goodbye at the end of the night along with the rest of her family.
No stress, no emotional outbursts.....from me. If anything I really had no emotion at all, either to the wife or the family.
I simply had a great night, made sure I showed how great it was with my boys, and other adults that were there.
I made a speech, thanked the W and family members. I sent the W a text today, stating "thanks for doing a speech, I know it was an emotional thing to do". She didn't speak about us, just simply she was emotional talking about son. I got a reply back saying "thanks, it was a great night". I didn't reply to that.
Overall, no problems at all. No sitch talks to anyone at the party.
I think that was funny: the mother in law asked if I was transferring back at the end of the year. I said yes I was. She then asked which school. I said it is still be worked on. She just said, are you telling me the truth? You can't handle the truth MIL, is what I should have said. Instead just said yep, nothing confirmed yet. Even though it has been, no one would know.
Also saw the bank manager, it looks like I will be able to borrow enough money to buy the houses and pay the wife out. Yay.
