Hey all!!.. Well it's been a while, so time for a bit of an update..
Work and GAL have kept me pretty busy lately hence the slackness in updating and posting.. There also hasn't been anything really happening in my sitch up until a couple of days ago, and the ride keeps going!!..
The child visitation arrangement that was put to me hasn't come back up again either!!.. I did ask W about it and she said she has to think about it more as she enjoys her weekends with them too..
Things between myself and W have been coasting along ok for the bulk of the time since my last update, with only her up-downs the sticky areas.. There has been the occasional spew on a low-medium level for the smallest of things and the hot/cold with contact and temperament etc..
The last 3-4 days W has seemed to have delved right back in to the WAW script to re-read the lines again to throw at me!!..
Firstly, (Thursday) it was mentioned to me by the kids that W and OM did a "family" style activity with them.. I mentioned to W that although I was proud and appreciative of her for doing the activity, I did not appreciate OM being around for something that should be a family style thing considering he has only been around for 3 months (apparently anyway)..
She blew up at this and the spew started.. She said "You need to stop being in denial", "Even if I break up with OM I'm not going back to you", "This is life now", "I wont do anything with you and the kids until you are over this and dealing with everything" and other glorious quips!!..
The "You need to stop being in denial" part got me in a way and I did say something not DB like.. I said "How can you say I'm in denial, when YOU are the one calling the marriage over, yet still have all the pics of us up on FB including the wedding pics with both of us tagged in them".. I don't look at her FB any more, but they are in my pics as I am tagged in them..
This prompted another spew, a change to her maiden name on FB (with the married name as the "other" name) and to this point nothing else..
Friday was kid exchange day and all was smooth.. You wouldn't have even thought that W had the blow up the night before.. We did the usual coffee and chat about kid stuff and she actually bought up life in general in the conversation..
Saturday I had to meet up with W to drop off some replacement fish for S9's tank.. He has a hungry Dragon Fighter!!.. Once again, smooth conversation (although short), a couple of good laughs and then off me and the boys went for our next adventure!!..
Sunday - No contact from W..
That brings us to this morning at kid exchange.. W asked if S9 had bought back his game consoles with him.. I replied no as he wanted to leave them here until next weekend (S9 had actually spoken to me about it earlier in the morning).. She turned around and spewed again saying that "I may as well get rid of them" and "What are they going to play on the weekend now" among others..
I REALLY wanted to answer her last statement, but had to make amends for Thursdays debacle.. I couldn't even think of how to validate her comments so I didn't engage in them.. I needed to go anyway so gave the boys a hug and kiss and said I would talk to them later.. I gave W a wave and a smile as I was walking back to my car..
Well, they were my shining lights since my last update!!.. In some ways I think W's emotions may be off due to our wedding anniversary being tomorrow.. I'm not thinking too much about it personally, but ask me that at this time tomorrow!!.. I'd still like to think of her as a human and that is why I believe it would be on her mind in some way or another..
It's right now that I see what is said about the gift of time and this being a marathon.. I'm now 7 months in to S and now dealing with OM and the WAS script renewal I realise I have to be in this for the long haul!!..
