I came home from a trip visiting family(just S2 and I) about3 months ago, while ww was still living in our home. I know she had OM over during that week I was gone. I got very angry inside and calmly told her what she has done is disrespectful and if we go through divorce we will no longer be friends because friends don't disrespect each other this way. She just stood there and said I was punishing her. I said I'm sorry she felt that way but this was a personal boundary of mine and she was free to do her thing but I would not be friends with her as my choice. She got quiet, did her teenage sulk (ear buds in) and on her phone texting (I assume OM). This was for 3 days.
Since then, she's been less of her teenage / rebellious self and more respectful and nice around me when we interact. I have also felt stronger and more confident with myself since then. Did this impact her? Should I care as just focus on me not overthinking this? Don't know... but I know I felt much better. I'm still amazed she hasn't reacted negatively to me since then and no spewing from her. Then again maybe she's happy with her life and OM being her soul mate now considering they've moved in together.
Just little observations. Since she's moved out almost a month, we've not seen each other nor spoken over the phone. Just simple text messages (all friendly and cordial from both sides). Just [censored] as it appears she's moved on and I am too.
Well going on a trip to visit a college buddy for a week so that will be fun! Will miss my S2 greatly (had tears today when I saw another dad and his young boy together). I have to accept this new life and understand our family will never be whole the way it was..... will just be different.
Time to go back to work now!
