You might be onto something.
MLC is a world of non-sense. Complicated.

The last relationship I had, D2 said he asked a lot of questions and seemed jealous. He came to the store quite often which surprised all of us. The look on his face was pure love and admiration. so much that my co-workers approached me about it. Mean while, he has a lady at home. This look is still present unless she is with him, then he is normal and casual.

I stick to reality. I see his behavior as a web. It is simple for me. Lady present in his life, no me. The way I see it, I have been replaced in regards of life partner. When a problem arise in his life, he comes to me. I bring her to life every time. lol I ask questions like: "What does she think?" "What is she doing to help you with this?" "Why can' t she do this?" "You discarded me, you traded me in for a new life partner. It is not my place to help with this." Anything that has nothing to do with the kids welfare is none of my business."
" you told me often in the beginning that your choices were none of my business, well true but this also means that your problems are yours, not ours. You need to figure this out with OW now, not me."

Last week-end, we went on a road trip to visit D21. He texted me all week-end to make sure we were safe on the road and to make sure we made it ok. roads were slippery in the morning and evenings. He is showing he cares. This kind of behavior was gone and is making a come back..

I am not sharing because I want something out of it, I am sharing to keep track regardless the outcome. Maybe to have behaviour comparisons or understanding amongst other posters?

That' s it for now..
