Haven't been on for a while, but have been reading other threads.
W picked up the kids after my two and a bit weeks with them. She was incredibly sore, but had managed to get herself in to some skinny jeans (not very sensible). I helped down the steps with the kids bags. The day before we'd been to a kids party and I noticed after I got in my flat she was busy texting somebody - who, don't know, but she texted soon after to tell me how tired she was etc. I just replied OK.
When she brought the kids over the past two times, she has brought SD with her and hasn't left the car. Guilt or soreness, I don't know. SD told me how her specialist had told her she wasn't healing properly and wouldn't if she didn't look after herself. I think SD wanted me to make some sort of gesture, but I just shrugged in a 'she made the choice to have surgery' kind of way.
As for me, I've been out and about a little bit more. I helped out at work one Saturday (I'm saving up to take the kids somewhere really nice in the summer hols - the overtime comes in nicely) and from that, I got a party invite for the Sunday. That was a bit of light relief.
Work is hectic, but have formed a friendship with a woman who I work with. She's younger than me, but has sought me out as she is also having relationship troubles. Nothing but friendship mind - I'm old enough to be her Dad!
Kids are coming this weekend and it's Mother's Day here in the UK, so we're off to Lush to get W a gift for that day, and a card. SD has bought her own, so that's fine. Treat time for the kids (McDonald's, Mr Pretzels, Toys!) and for me as we get to have a pizza night etc.
My best man is coming up next Friday for three nights, so we'll have a blast and the following week, me and NDY are hitting the town - watch out ladies
Two years up in a just over a week and I'm feeling a little more positive. Not giving up yet, but not lying down either!
