Met W for the kids change-over. She again followed us into the shop, I noticed that she'd made an effort to wear lots of make-up for a change, probably the most she's ever worn. I laughed but couldn't say why. She then got cash-back right in front of me. I said "you don't know when to stop do you" (as she's taking cash to hide). She only then realised what she'd done. It's become so second nature to her that she doesn't even think of doing it right in front of me. She then again offered us a lift back home, I declined (because she can't be trusted not to make a scene).
I bought the kids their first games console. W has then gone and bought them the same one and same game and from the same shop. I take the kids for a meal and W takes them to the same place days later and orders the same meals. Yesterday, W left one of the kids with a family who she never used to like because their child behaves so badly and eats tons of junk food.
My GAL is getting better all the time but I've had some bad days recently when I was feeling very down but the better days are getting better.
