OK, I feel like I fell asleep 6 months ago and woke up in Bizarro World. It was bad enough finding out about my wife’s affair and her filing for divorce and moving out, but the events of the last week are rocking my world.
As you know, she contacted me last week in tears and we spent about 3 hours talking about the affair and what has transpired. She was sorry but did not express remorse or a desire to reconcile. She told me that her OM only wanted to be friends. That story was confirmed by her kids last night. Apparently when she went home from our meetup last week, she cried to them and said the same story.
Since that time, she has been sending me random, superficial texts. Against better judgment, I have been participating and responding in kind. They have all been just friendly and funny things without any substance.
Last night, all of her kids came over for Taco Tuesday, which is something I have been doing with them since the split. As usual, we had a great time together. I sent food home with them, and told them to share it with their mother. Taco Tuesday was always a family event with us over the years. They told me that she wasn’t home, and I assume she is with OM.
I should have left things alone, but of course I sent her a text last night telling her that I sent food home for her, but she wasn’t there. She responded and said thanks, and that she made other plans because all of the kids were with me. She then said she was going to show up next week for Taco Tuesday, followed quickly with another text asking what I would think if she snuck in to my house to see me. I was taken aback, to say the least. I thought she was joking, so I said “Sure, I’ll play along”. Her next message was for me to leave my bedroom door unlocked and she would be by later tonight.
Nearly every part of me screams out that this is NOT a good idea. I don’t know what to make of this, or what it means in the short/long run. Am I now going to become the OM to her OM? Is this her way of getting her foot in the door for possible reconciliation? Is she just playing games with me? Perhaps it was just her drunk texting.
More to come later, I’m sure.
