Yeah the timing sure isn't the best. But I think your approach of just letting her enjoy the moment is the best to take. I promise you she is giving a lot of thought to how it is going to affect you two, so just let her sort that through on her own and if she decides to open up to you about it then (you know the routine) listen and validate.

I was worried about where W was going to live after our D, not so much because I wouldn't see her but because it might infringe on me seeing the kids as much. But she ended up buying a house just 5 minutes from me so (like so many of the things I used to worry about) it never came to pass.

After BD I came to a realization- when I looked back at my life, all of the things that I fretted and worried about never actually happened. The troubling things that did happen to me I NEVER SAW COMING. It's just the nature of life. Now I have a more carefree attitude, I deal with things as they come up instead of wasting a lot of effort worrying!
