For the past almost two years I have been living with my girlfriend. Well about a couple weeks ago we broke up. So I got my own place. I put up a FB post informing people that my address has changed and to message me to update their records and asked that they refrain from sending any mail to my girlfriend's house.
Now as you know from my last update, my WAW had moved back home from FL. Well the next day after my FB post I get a text from WAW telling me that she had found some old photo albums of mine. Ironically about a year of so ago I and found a photo album of hers that was very important to her family. So she asked whom she could drop it off to. I said we could just meet up as it would be very nice to see her again after just about 4 years. So we chatted for awhile...I was confident and remembered all my divorce busting practices from 4 years ago now.
So she agreed to meet up to catch up and we started discussing a time and place. Funny is that WAW said to bring my girlfriend. That kind of threw me. So that's when I said what girlfriend. She said she was referring to Mary, my now ex. So WAW asked what happened and I told her I had to break up with her, that I was tired of her BS and that she just didn't appreciate my awesomeness. WAW got a chuckle from that. So anyway I didn't seem over eager and said I wouldn't have time until three days later. So that night came and I went to her place...
I got lost trying to find the place so she said to call her. So I did. I simply cannot describe how strange it was to actually hear her voice again. I'm sure she had to have felt the same way. So we had a nice night hanging out and talking for three hours or so. However, at one point she said she didn't think it would be healthy for either of us if we talked every day. So I just nodded. Then we just started taking about other things. So when it was time for me to leave she said "Okay well I love you." "I love you." I can't remember how I replied for some reason but I probably reciprocrated. So I left. The next day she sends me a text saying how we could have chatted for hours...so many years of memories. She told me to take good care of myself and until our paths crossed again. I simply replied with "Ditto!" and left it at that. That was about 10 days ago now. So a pretty big update to this thread. Can't believe back then 4 years ago how I was convinced there was no way I could live on...and now I think back to all that's happened in the past 4 years... unbelievable...still...as much as I loved my ex girlfriend, which turned out to be friendship love I was saddened to learn...deep down I still love my WAW and just tried to bury it...I've just learned to live with it. We'll see what happens next...much better WAW is at least local again.
