Hey everybody!

Cheesyt,
Yeah, everything is good, just been busy so haven't been on much. I went to TX to visit the step kids from a previous relationship, SS(15), SD(13). They all want me to move there, including their dad, stepmom and younger brother. Ha! It is nice to be so loved! I got to see my SD show her rabbits for FFA and I was thankful to be able to be a part of it. It was a really nice visit and I am actually considering moving there. It could be a lovely change and a fresh start.

I will see SS next week. Last I saw him he just told me how OW is fully moved in and they were painting the master and moved all of "our" things out and moved OW's furniture in.

Got everything to the L that they needed so hopefully will have a date very soon.

Haven't heard anything from W other than that she had more stuff for me. She took it over to her X-H's house for me to pick up. Some of it was really useful, then she gave me some of her mother's things. I was like "Um, this isn't mine". She said she didn't want it back so in the trash it went.

I'm still talking to the woman I've been seeing. Still taking things at a snail's pace. Neither of us are in any rush to be in a R, we just want to enjoy one another's company on occasion and yet still keep our own separate lives too. I definitely dig her, but I also definitely have zero desire to define it as anything or make any sort of commitment. She seems to feel exactly the same so for now we will just enjoy what we have going. Maybe it will end up more eventually, maybe it will fizzle out. Who knows, but right now I'm enjoying the fact that there is zero pressure for it to be anything other than fun.

Jeep,
My brother is one that has never gotten back on that horse. His gf cheated on him 5 years ago and he has not dated even once since. I would rather not end up like that, however, he seems quite happy with his solitary life. I just don't think it is for me on the long term, plus, as you said, nothing wrong with some strange. Well, for some people, I realize others will disagree.

bsb,
It is important to do your best to ensure you're doing things for the right reasons. For me, I guess I just had a switch flip where I decided I deserved much better than my W could ever offer me so I no longer want to save my M. Not everyone can or should feel the same and I understand that. I just know that looking back on my M and R in general that there were many reasons I feel I deserve better, and she deserves better than what I can offer her as a partner too. We are all different, so just do whatever you feel is best for yourself.
