Persistent Endurance (Part 2)

[curtis7]

I’ve been spending a lot of time contemplating what action I should take next. I’m leaning against boxing her stuff right now, I don’t want the kids to be exposed to that and have to answer their questions. Unlike my W, I’m not comfortable lying to my children. Speaking of which, my S asked if BFF’s D was still sick. My W said “Wait...what???” Then, she remembered that was the lie she told my kids as the reason they couldn’t go to BFF’s place when my W went off to her PA. Then she said, “Oh, she’s still very sick.”

I’ve gone dark towards her with virtually no contact (kids only) since her verbal attack on me over the phone on the way to her PA two days ago. She hasn’t attempted contacting me either. I doubt she’s picked up on how disrespected I felt that was, probably too late to tell her, I should have taken a stand as it was occurring.

I’ve spent all week with the kids while they are on Spring Break. We went to the driving range/putting green on Monday. I spent yesterday burning several trees that I had cut down over the past few months in the horse pasture. Today was spent with more quality time playing games with kids and tree trimming.

My only interaction with WW was small talk about her nails last night and her mentioning that a mutual friend might get a new puppy. Also, tonight she commented on my haircut from a few days ago and pointed out that the stylist missed a few hairs in the back. She got the scissors out and trimmed them for me.

She is staying at our house tonight because I plan to work tomorrow. I was dressed nicely when she got home and fed the kids. She asked if I was going out tonight and I said yep. I left shortly after to treat myself to a nice dinner followed by a trip to the gym.

I’m continuing to read stories of other DBers and recommended threads.
