MLC, WAW or WW,,, Who really knows? - round 2

[ROE]

Hi Linda, I can't take full credit. I noticed that Cadet polished it up for me a little

Well, I don't know that there is much to standing my ground. It was a small victory for me only because after the fact I realized that I created a boundary and enforced it. WW was a little irritated but nothing serious there either.

Yesterday evening WW approached me and told me that she found a place to move into immediately. When I questioned "where"? She mentions that it is sharing a home with someone (female) she just met, a single parent to one of my daughters BFF's. Now maybe they actually met 2-3 months ago but only started meeting for drinks in the past 2-3 wks. The irony is this place is apx 30 mins away from here and at least that from OM apartment. Not what I expected but,,, OM lives on the same road I've been driving to and from work for the past 24 yrs. so maybe it's easier to be more covert. After all 30 mins really is nothing for OM to drive.

Or,,,,, the other option,,,, there would be one of our rental properties that would be vacant by end of month and that I could move into that apartment "if I wanted" and she could live in our new home with the kids. Which BTW, the apartment also is on the same road I've been driving to and from work for the past 24 yrs. just a very short walk from OM's apartment. To be honest, I already knew last month the apartment would be vacant and for many months always thought that would be where she would move to. So my response was calm and reminded her that, none of this is "what I want" and that she was the one whom "checked out" of our MR she needs to be the one to move out unless she wants to work on the MR otherwise we need to part ways. She nodded as if accepting the answer but then in less than 5 minutes tried to sell me on the idea 2 times,, it's closer to my work,,, there is a school bus pick up near by (the apartment is not in the same school district). To which both times I calmly rejected the offers and reminded her that she doesn't want the marriage so she should make her statement by moving out and she should also be the one to start the legal aspect of filing for D. This irritated the $h1t out of her and she stormed off like an ol wet hen. That was my stance. Nothing serious but a starting point to move forward.

I'm sure the next test is coming and most likely very soon. She's going to start moving her stuff out. Possibly this week would be my guess. I will consult a lawyer hopefully this week also. We received our funds from closing on a property of ours so that's a big help financially. Son"things just got real". Here we go,,,,
