Journaling / venting:

While i've done an okay job at detaching, im sure i will always have certain things that trigger me from this experience. I've been slightly disturbed the past few days after my older daughter told me that "mom took us to the baseball game with her friend Kate, and her neighbor Al. Al also brought his 12 year old nephew." I know Kate. I don't know Al.

Now, the part that is bugging me. This guy Al. He's a new character in wife's life, which is understandable because he lives by my wife's new place. Hanging out together around the condo complex is one thing, but going to a baseball game together and bringing my kids is another thing. While we don't have signed custody agreement yet banning introducing our kids to new romantic partners, and i'm not even sure they are romantic, it does bug me that there's some random dude being exposed to my kids. And, speaking from a guy's point-of-view, if he's not already a romantic partner, I can bet he's trying to become one.

Its no longer any of my business what my high moral wife does with her life, so why does it bug me that she may have moved on to OP #2 now that she was dumped by OP #1? I can also just chalk it up that she is going through a weird time in her life that is bringing out her inner desire to be more sexual (which i would have enjoyed while we were together).

That's my rant. I'm not going to say anything to her about until after we finalize the custody agreement. I'll get over it. i'm working on getting some stuff in my custody agreement that makes me okay with things like this.
