Falling Pianos: Wayward Wife & LRT (8)

[Defacto]

I can see some of the take aways from Rob X's plan. However, I don't plan on dating or doing anything like that.

Journaling:
This morning's school meeting with STBX went great. She was late with the kids but I didn't let it affect me. The old the Defacto would have been agitated or even upset, but I didn't let it bother me one bit. We enjoyed the new school for D4, plus it's much more financially viable than her previous school. Win win. STBX and I were both very engaged and asking questions with the school personnel during our meeting.

After the meeting, STBX and I talked about the school and we both agreed this was the best option moving forward. It reminded me that if there was one thing we were good at together, it was problem-solving.

I helped put the kids in the car seat and STBX came over and hugged me and thanked me for being there. After I finished saying goodbye to the kids, she came over and gave me another hug and thanked me again. As we were driving away, I didn't look over to her car. At the stoplight I glanced over and STBX was looking at me. She smiled and waved at me. I smiled and waved back.

I think it went really well. I acted "as if" and I was confident and assertive. I was attractive and friendly. Numerous times, when we heard something we liked about the school, STBX and I would look at each other and smile. I know, no expectations. But I am pleased that we are able to work together when making important childcare decisions.
