Dwh, Thanks for the encouragement. I feel pretty safe for tomorrow's get together as her literal girlfriend will be there. She's just an old classmate from college. As far as D is concerned, it seems inevitable now. Just staying the course and being a rock star dad for my kids.
Journaling: TM exchange with STBX from this morning...
Her: D4 had such a good weekend with you. She really likes the science museum. Thanks for being the best dad ever. Me: (an hour later) We had a great time STBX: (immediate response) Awww.
I just spoke some more with my attorney and she had very nice things to say about the guy you chose. (Note: STBX bashed my L on Friday, calling him a misogynist.)
I guess her paralegal had the wrong idea about him.
Me: Oh ok
STBX: She said he's a family man. ----- Kind of a weird exchange with STBX when I FaceTimed with kids tonight. She seemed mellow, even sad, and was overly inquisitive about my weekend with the kids. Apparently, D4 mentioned to STBX that she was with her friends over the weekend. This must have piqued STBX's curiosity about her old friends. She mentioned about how she missed them. She was asking about her old friends and if they had anything new going on. I just responded nonchalantly and tried to steer the conversation back to the kids. I just kept smiling and kept a PMA. She knew I was out at dinner so she wished me a good night and I did the same.
Anyway, met up with a buddy for happy hour. Plan on watching an action flick and try to work up the motivation to get my paperwork together for the financial affidavit.
