Need advice for a WW who left Part 3

[dwh15]

Had an interesting night. It was open house at the school for S10 and WW said she wanted to attend, so we all met at the school. Everything went well, we met teachers and staff, and sort of felt like a normal family for a while there. It doesn't bother me like it used to. I'm always aware of the current reality and don't let myself slip into longing for the past anymore. So of course during down times we were talking, and funny enough most of it initiated by WW.

Somehow she found out I had started bartending and was VERY interested in that part of my life. Remember, she did the same thing at the same club for over a year, so she is familiar with how it works and a lot of the people. She kept asking for updates on specific people, warning me about all the drama, etc. She said she doesn't miss it, but I could almost see the longing in her eyes. So the conversation was overall pleasant, but I never got the idea that she seemed totally relaxed. It's almost like she seemed stressed the entire time, like something was bothering her. Of course, she often seems like that around me, so no idea. But what I like to think is that she's noticing my changes and starting to realize I was serious about them. I'm doing all the things that she always wanted me to do, and even though I told her after DDay I would do it, I'm sure she didn't believe me.

The other nice thing is that, now that I'm working in an office again every day, I'm always dressed to the hilt in nice business casual or sometimes a suit. I've noticed that I get compliments all the time, from both men and women. I smile and walk with confidence, striking up conversations wherever I go. It appears to be infectious and I get positive responses from almost everyone, which WW also notices. In short, I believe that at least some small part of her is starting to realize what she has given up. Well, I'm choosing to believe that anyway, since it makes me feel good.

Getting ready to hit the sack early tonight, as all the GAL and new job has me worn down pretty good, so need a night of catching up on sleep. And I'm positive that for tonight at least, I won't be having any dreams about WW.
