So, today I'm trying a new sort of strategy. We have a conference room reserved this morning at a local open office incubator, and since WW's been floundering in her business, I'm taking charge of the meeting. I'm setting agendas, goals, schedules, everything. I plan to wear some nice clothes I haven't worn in a while, and just be confident and in control. There will be no talk of the relationship, just business. But it's going to be a side of me that she's not seen in a while, and a side that I think she misses.
Today is also our son's 18th birthday. So we get to play happy family tonight with a little cookout and an outdoor concert later. I also have plans this afternoon to meet up with a friend who had a bomb dropped on her last year and has been through all this pain recently. I felt so bad when she told me what happened in February, absolutely sure no such thing would ever happen to me...
I'm facing a tough weekend, though. I think WW likely has plans with the OW every day. I best get used to this. Another friend is out of town and has offered me her home to stay if I want. If it weren't for the kids, I would stay the whole time. But I probably will go for stretches.
The good news is, even though I hardly slept last night, I'm up early and ready to go today. One day at a time...
