So, that's where it's at now. Texting conversations have had a few moments where it's not about just the kids. I do my best to remain neutral and friendly in my replies. I don't ask questions about what she's doing, giving her the opportunity to tell me if she should so choose. I've been working out, which really started last year before all this "fun" started. I've dropped 30+ pounds, weighing less than I did when we got married, I'm eating healthier, and I just bought some new pants, two pant sizes smaller, because the others were way too big now. When she has the kids on the weekends and I'm not working, I do my best to try to get out, spend time with friends, or work on my personal projects that I've been meaning to get to. I suppose the thing to do is to keep doing those things and be patient, but that patience thing seems to be the toughest part.
