two steps forward, three steps back (burned)

[burned]

You guys. Thanks for keeping me in line. When today is over I’ll delve into some of those deeper issues. But for the moment I need to address something else.

This morning I’m going to the house to get most of the rest of my stuff. W has been bugging me to do this for a month, and I’ve been taking my time. I don’t work on her schedule anymore. But finally when she said she wants to get the D moving, I said to myself, OK, well, might as well get that done, too.

So I’ve been reading a well-known blog by a woman who takes a snarky approach to infidelity. Helps me keep my anger level a bit higher, in a self-protective sort of way. She has some good insight into the tricks manipulators play.

Anyway, just now, out of the blue, W texts me a video she saw, thought you’d like this, smiley face. And “Hope it goes well today, let me know if you need anything.”

What the TF?!

Didn’t respond. It wasn’t a question. And here I am thinking she wants nothing more to do with me could she BE any more obvious? I had a split second feeling of “Oh, there’s my W” and then I literally laughed, thought to myself, “I see through you now,” started the coffee maker, and went to take a dump.

I got this.
