Adjusting to being a LBS #2

[Subitai]

Looong time since I posted. I got laid off shortly after my last post, and I refocused on getting a new job, getting things back together for myself, and my IC. So I stopped coming here as I used to do that at work on breaks. Things that have come out in the mean time :

She is dating, and has been since shortly after the BD.

I am not dating. But it isn’t an alien thought like it used to be.

I am doing great with my IC (still at it) and have entire weeks where I don’t lose my temper.

We are filed, and working out the last details.

I am not interested in RC. Not unless she goes to therapy and does some work, but given the first bullet point, I doubt she will, or will ever want to RC. She checked out and lined up a new partner before the BD.

Kids are doing better.

Still birdnesting, but not for much longer. And I think she’s going to try and insist that I not get to buy her out of her side of the house because... the kids keeping their house is less important than winning? I don’t know what her deal is with this. Keeping the house for the kids was hugely important until I said we could do that, but we had to buy someone out and divest financially.

Thanks to everyone that kept me sane all those months ago!
