First and foremost, I have been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my WW is holding up this divorce. Found out last week it's because when we separated, we set aside 5K in an account to pay for the mediation and any other expenses. I guess only 1000 of it made it to the mediator and the rest of it was spent by my WW on who-knows-what. Since she was fired recently, money is tight on her end and she can not repay said amount. She instead things we should opt for one of those 300 dollar online divorce things, not so sure about that.
Which brings us to today. I was at our old house working on things, still trying to get it prepped to sell. She came over to help. While we were doing things, our current "relationships" were brought up. She asked about "J" and I inquired a little about here newest BF. Oddly, I wasn't jealous, upset or even emotional about it, it was almost like there has been some tension and it was relieved. We realized we needed a few things from the store and grabbed lunch together. At the hardware store, she kept putting her arm in mine, I would put my arm around her shoulder, etc. I think we just wandered around enjoying those fleeting moments. At one point I stopped her, kissed her on her forehead and then pretended to kiss her, while she turned her head laughing the whole time.
We talked about our relationship and what it was lacking. We talked about our children and their futures. We talked about ourselves without coming off being condescending. In the end, it was actually a great day. I know she was temp checking a little, but so was I. Today was one of those days which reminded me of what I loved about her. No fighting, no screaming, no accusations. Just two people enjoying one anothers company. I was almost sad to see it end.
