RD, thanks for dropping by; it's always good to hear from you. You are right of course about OW. And I kind of know it's a house of cards, about ready to fall down with a little gust of wind. That's the rational part of me. The less rational part worries that they may go on to start a new family. But, hey if that's truly what he wants - who am I to stand in the way of that??
I also ask myself sometimes. Is DBing actually stretching the pain out a little further? Because, with DBing, you actually retain a grain of hope? Would it be better just to move on entirely? IDK. In many other sitches, the WAS seems to have much more contact or interest in the LBS. My H - whilst he has been pretty pleasant - seems to have cut me out entirely, and I do find that hard. I know I'm making lots of progress...but even so, I do still find it hard to wrap my head around that sometimes....
Now then, my next GAL doesn't involve lions or dwarves. I was at the bookstore part of the day. Then this evening, I went out to a proms in the park event with my social group.
One thing I've noticed about when I go out with this group.....there are some pretty extrovert people there and many of them know each other pretty well. So, as a newcomer, it can feel a little hard to integrate. But each time, I seem to meet someone nice and have a good chat with them, so that's good. There are other newcomers like me.
Tonight, I sat with a really nice woman and we had a good chat. Then I chatted to someone else, who I had talked to at another event. Some of them are super confident and I kind of beat myself up a little that I'm not like that. But I figure I went and I met someone new, and that's a good thing. Focus on what you did do, not what you didn't.
Tomorrow, I'm going to have lunch with my parents and then I'll go off to aqua aerobics in the evening. Then I'm working away for a couple of days. Hope everyone is having a good weekend! xx
