Got a call from a friend yesterday, he works at the company I left when I moved to NC (where my W works), he was just calling to catch up and shoot the $h!t a little.. I worked there for 15 years, so I have some close relationships with people there, and I call to say "hi" to someone there about once a week, but my W has never come up in any of my conversations.

Anyway, during yesterdays conversation he fills me in on a bunch of position moves that are occurring, and tells me that my W will be moved into the position that I left, working with him.

As soon as I heard that I knew she is not happy about that, and then he made the statement that it was all supposed to go into effect immediately, but she threw a stink about it so they delayed the moves for 3 months.

That was a whole lot of information for me to basically say this... I had the urge to text her today and let her know that I heard, that I know she doesn't want that position (she's told me in the past), but that I believe she will do great in the position because (add some words of admiration)..

I actually felt sorry for her.. not angry, not longing or love, just sorry that she was getting assigned to a position that I know she didn't want, and I wanted to try and lift her spirits a little.

I didn't contact her, and I won't, but I just thought it was awesome that I felt in a place that I could support her. At this point, I just want to be in a place that I can be around her for my son (at major events in his life), and there was a time that I didn't think I would ever want or be willing to, but now Im thinking that I may be able to let go of the bruised ego and just be there..
