So... here is where it gets interesting... again.

Xh is staying next door at his brother's.

Aaaayep.

OK.

He came over tonight to bring a mug he took when he left last year. He said it was in a box. Well since he just moved all his stuff in next door today, into a small house with 3 kids, 2 adults, 3 dogs and an in-home daycare, I can't imagine he got right to unpacking. But, ok.

So he talked a little bit to me. I asked about her text. Right on, Bright, she took his phone right from him. I guess it was quite eventful. She is delusional. Seriously. I can't waste my thoughts though.

He wants to say something, but isn't ready. He didn't say that. I can just tell. I don't know what he is thinking.

But, as he was leaving, I said something, he was like, what? I said oh never mind, see you later. I closed the door and went into the living room. He came back through the garage and into the house and was like, what? Normally he would have just left. He was never one to really care what I had to say.

And, he said, "You know the relief s17 had when I told him about moving out? That's the same relief I have."

He looked like he had been through it, but he did look like a weight had been lifted. He says he has to find out about the baby.

I can't imagine what it is going to be like at work. Especially with the consultants there combing through everything... taking out people, big time. What a sticky situation.

But, I am going to stay out of it. Anyone who has been through the break-up of ow, please feel free to chime in. It is bringing up some emotions for me. To think he is emotional about that and feels bad when he walked out on me after 20 years. Not a good feeling.

This brings up a lot of things I have moved past.

OK, stay focused. Keep it about the kids. That's what matters now.

XH told me that he has my back. We will see.

I did tell him that regardless of everything, I am here for him. He said thank you and that he appreciates it.

I have got to pick up my gal game! Geesh... next door?! Seriously?!
