Persistent Endurance (Part 2)

[curtis7]

Steve, I did talk to a L a few months ago when W initially shared her desire to buy a house. We primarily discussed my liability to that property and marital rights and didn’t get too much into the parenting arrangement. I’m comfortable with what’s going on right now, but will monitor how her actions play out closely with the kids to decide whether I should re-engage the L.

My W doesn’t know I spoke with a L. Ideally, I would like to wait a few months before letting her know about L involvement. This gives her the time and space she feels she needs to experience her freedom, but also gives her a dose of reality while I work on improving myself and transforming further into H only a fool would leave. The gift of time.

I’m actually feeling pretty good today, about to head to the closing to find out what they are asking me to sign. Moving out is what she wants and I have not stood in her way thus far. As much as I think it will be more difficult for her to see my 180s and GAL when she’s out, I was getting extremely sick and tired of seeing her text and troll for OM right in front of me. Living with someone that is blatantly and actively betraying your MR tears you apart when you aren’t fully detached.

It’s too bad this wasn’t all part of some elaborate April fools joke, lol.

Any recommendations on what to say to W at the closing? I was thinking:
“Enjoy”
“Congrats, our first foray into being slum lords.” (W and I discussed this becoming a rental property if we R)
“I hope you find happiness”
