Well I went to W's and went over a lot of stuff with her for the businesses. We talked a little bit about her day. I played with the dogs. We laughed and talked while doing our work. I never brought up the R and never showed any emotion. I actually laughed and smiled the entire time. I was baited a couple of times but never bit. For example she was talking about the new bedroom set she wants to get down the road. I just smiled and said that sounds nice.

There was one thing that was weird. D14 was wearing a tank top and my W goes look at the abs on her. W then lifted her shirt to show her flat stomach, but no abs. I then lifted my shirt and it is the first time my W ever saw it but I developed abs again. She then made a smart comment under her breath.

D14 opened up to me today after picking her up from school. She said how she does want her parents together and she hates the way things are. I felt so bad because I want nothing more then to be a normal family again. She said she can't talk like this in front of W because whenever she says anything like this W flips out saying she is picking sides.

D14 then told me what I was doing wrong. She said it may be to late now but I chased to hard. She said nobody wants the needy guy. Even though I new this I was so impressed by my 14 year old saying this stuff.


Then as I was walking out the door she grabbed me and gave me a tight hug. She hasn't hugged me in a while. Now I do know it could very well her playing nice nice to use me to make this transition for her but I need to think positive.

My W is very smart hence why she is a dentist. But business is not her strength. It was very obvious I had her head spinning when I was going over everything. I am spitting out numbers off the top of my head quicker then she could enter it into a calculator. I also pointed out some the things I had worked out with companies. Like the bank waved all service charges for me, because I worked that out with the bank President. We only pay 1/2 price for our credit card scanner, because once again I negotiated that with the bank President.

So now I will continue to give space and see when I get a phone call or text. I am going to relax and watch some tv Tonight. Then tomorrow I need to go to Sams Club and the Gym. At least this time I can say we said good bye on good terms that has not happened often.
