Had brunch with mutual work friend. Friend tells me that WAW told everyone at work that I "kicked her out of the house" thus the split. WAW had the A, would not stop and could not wait to leap. Of course I am painted as the bad guy in her narrative. We did have discussion as to who was going to leave and it turned out she did first. It galls me that I was painted as the bad guy. Not a surprise though.
Now the word is out that she was seeing this other person at work and now people are questioning her. Work Friend also said that WAW and her work situation are not going well. She could not elaborate further, but interesting development.
More than anything, it feels like my WAW has pride issues, and is prideful to admit she mucked up. She has issues with that and will not likely back down. Oh well, there is nothing I can do about that. What is that saying Pride comes before a fall? We'll see.
PigPen, no I do not have the kids this week and I miss them so. They are on East Coast with WAW and her side of the family. I know they are having a good time.
On the GAL front - went and saw with new friend the Janis Josplin play which was GREAT. We had dinner afterwards and just had a nice chat. Met a friend today for brunch with her daughter. They invited me to come out to Michigan to their farm when things settle down. Going to a movie with another friend this afternoon. So yeah, a full weekend.
I miss kids a LOT. I still miss my W or who I thought my W was. In my heart, I know she is not well nor happy, but I have to just love her from afar. She is on this journey of her own choice.
The urge to "help her" is dissapating. All I can do is keep my side of the street clean. That is such a novel concept for me, before I took responsibility for so many things that were not mine to begin with. Detachment has allowed me to see that now. It is a mind opening experience.
