WAW and the Big D

[Bdog37]

Wow,

Sometimes when things are going so good you just start to question it.

Yesterday I get pulled into the bosses office and was told I was getting a 20% raise. I've been with the same company for over 15 years now so he went on about what a valuable employee I am.

Then later that night I took my girls to go see Beauty and the Beast. Needless to say we all loved the movie and afterward we went back to the house to play "Beauty and the Beast". I was the beast of course lol. Good times!

When I picked the girls up my oldest told me that my youngest just got done crying. I asked her why and she said because she "missed her daddy"....melted my heart. I gave her a big hug and a kiss before we left.

Texted the EW about wanting more time with the as well (I currently get them 5/7 days a week and every other weekend). She listed a bunch of dates that she has "plans" for already so it looks like I'm going to be spending much more time with them. EW told me that I can have more days and weekends with the kids during the summer as well and I totally agreed. She just asked for Mother's Day and I told her that it was a given. From the sound of it though I will basically be having them weeks at a time now. Wonderful news all around and this week has been another great week so far!

Feeling blessed right now! Court with the EW begins tomorrow and "I ain't even mad". Honestly, I'm just ready to get the ball rolling. I have been talking to the OW that I met quite frequently now. We have both agreed to take things very slow with the current situation, but I can actually see myself in a relationship with her. Been on some friendly dates together so its very nice to have those butterfly feelings about someone again.

4 months ago I never pictured myself here, but I've made the most of the situation that I was dealt. I thought I would never be happy again. I thought detaching from the EW was impossible and I would go on for years lonely and missing her. I can truly say that I'm in a much better place right now and happier than I was such a short time ago.

Hang in there friends, things will get better!!
