Thank you Esame and Bee. I wish I would have followed your advice but I let my emotions take hold and stumbled a few steps back tonight. Thankfully, your advice came to mind and I didn't as bad as I could have. It's so hurtful end to a good day as I suspect she went to see OM after a day with the family. I texted her tonight to ask if she wanted to tell the kids goodnight, no reply. A half hour later I texted "really?" as her phone may as well be an appendage. Then I let my emotions get me more and texted "nice" another half hour later. A little bit latter she texted and said she didn't hear and "what's up with the attitude." I told her the kids wanted to say goodnight. She said she answered as soon as she saw and asked to call them. Afterwards she said she wasn't intentionally ignoring me. I told her I thought she was and I was upset because the kids wanted to say goodnight. Then she turned it around on me asking why she would do that. Ummm....I could write a page to that but didn't want to make it worse so I was just sitting and thinking. Then I get another one saying "ok then, thanks for letting me call even though I missed your text." I guess it happens to most of us and I will learn from this too, nothing I can do now but not do it again. I can't believe she would leave town instead of spending time with them this weekend.
She left before putting the kids to bed again last night. Said she was tired and needed to go to bed. I was awakened by a text at 1:00. She said she just read her tickets for the corgi convention/parade (I won't list the actual name since it could bring up this thread in a search) and it started 2 hours earlier than she had thought so I would need to get the kids up and ready earlier. She mentioned twice today that she couldn't sleep last night and only got 3-4 hours. So naturally the thing to do is go see your friend hours away the next night then turn around and come home the next day, lol. I bet she comes back Monday morning super early and exhausted.
We went to the convention this morning, then walked the parade around town. It was fun, imagine hundreds of corgis in one place and then parading around downtown! There were several being carried back at the end lol. It was a good family event for us but W was on her phone nearly the entire time. Sometimes leaving me and the kids far behind; it is so frustrating. I think that stupid phone of hers was a major factor in our separation. I wish she could see herself on it, ignoring the kids, ignoring me, so she can chat and snap chat. I hope one day she wakes up realizing she was on her phone instead of enjoying her time with the kids and making memories with them. While we were walking I thought to myself if I were in a date with this person it would be over because she won't stay off her phone. So rude and disrespectful. We got ice cream and I stayed out front with the dog. When she came out she said she tried mine and it was good. It was a strange feeling but I was a little grossed out and upset, knowing about her A and no attempt to reconcile. D also was digging in w's purse while she was busy on her phone and pulled out a receipt and handed it to me. It was for a dinner and obviously for two people. Second time in 2 weeks. Ugh. Tried to ignore it but I guess that added to my frustration tonight.
Before we left town she insisted on getting a wax, um..... Really hard to stfu when I suspected she was going to see OM tonight but I did. We walked around the area then sat in the shade for a little while before she met back up with us. We talked to a few people while walking but there was one lady and her d who petted the dog and visited quite a bit after w came back and took d into a store while s and I sat on a bench outside. She came back with her d a few minutes later. While she was petting the dog I mentioned we just came back from the parade. She said "oh I saw another lady I think did too, she has a corgi shirt on and keeps looking out the window at us." I told her that was my w, she said oh, that's your w and then left. W said nothing about it.
Going to try to forget tonight and enjoy the rest of the weekend with the kids. I have to go to a baby shower for my sister tomorrow. W did give me a present to take for her. Idk what the heck is going on right now.
