Falling Pianos: Wayward Wife & LRT (8)

[Defacto]

Journaling:
I had a great extended weekend. It started with STBX picking up the kids from my place. She came inside, sat down on the couch, and motioned for me to sit next to her. I did and she put her head on my shoulder. She started to fall asleep and after a few minutes I woke her up and let her know I needed to head out. D4 asked about STBX's sandy feet. STBX said that she went to the beach and took a nap in one of the cabanas. She then gave me a hug and said that I looked nice.

As soon as they left, I began on my road trip. After a few hours, I arrived at my best friend's house and he, his wife, his wife's friend, and I hit the town. We had a good time but we're probably out a bit too late.

The next morning, after a delayed start, we picked up some breakfast and Bloody Mary's. Later that afternoon, my best friend and I worked on making concrete pavers for his back yard. It felt good to get my hands dirty and help my buddy out. Afterwards, we rewarded ourselves by hanging out in the pool and hot tub. I FaceTimed with STBX in the kids while I was still wet from the pool. STBX felt compelled to ask if I was at a hotel. I just replied by saying no.

Here's where things get a little dicey. After we finished with the pool, my friend, his wife, her friend, and I wanted to get caught up on True Detective. However after a few minutes, my friend and his wife went to bed, leaving his wife's friend and me. We had been chatting off and on throughout the weekend. Needless to say, a few too many beers later and she and I ended up making out. I'm obviously a little conflicted about this and I'm sure I have a bunch of 2x4s coming my way.

Today, I woke up early so I could visit a state park on the way home. Then I got home with a few hours to spare so I went jogging, straightened up the house, and picked up a few things from the grocery store. Definitely a productive and rewarding day.

STBX dropped off the kids on her way in to work. She asked me if I had fun over the weekend. I told her that I did. Before she left, she got out of her car to give me a hug. The hug was longer than usual so I ended it after a few seconds. STBX also said that I looked good as she got back into her car.

So all in all it was a fun and pretty eventful weekend. I do regret the incident with my buddy's wife's friend but the selfish, weak part of me feels like I deserved it.
