Well another couple of months gone by since last here... and yet I still feel like i'm living in some twilight zone..
In the latest edition of my soap opera:
- Work is going as well as expected, have my frustrations as the company are quite passive and reactive as opposed to pro-active but it fits with the culture where I live.
- Kids are doing well, we continue to have great times together. Bought S10 a new bike and D6 has his old one so we can enjoy the good weather riding along side the river near me. Sadly, their mother can't be happy for them since when he told her that we had got him a new bike, she said that it hurts her feelings when he compares.. (common theme recently)
- STBEX is still a roller coaster of friendly one week, agressive the next. Mostly just plain weird. Suddenly offering to bring the kids to me on the change day so she can do some shopping in town (this is after telling me on many occasions that under law it is my responsibility to pick them up from her). She got right into my personal space this past week at a doctors appointment for our daughter leaning across the front of me. I didn't make anything of it. Remembering the picnic story, no reactions just carry on my own business.
- Had a friend that I haven't seen in a couple of years contact me recently if I was coming to see her anytime soon so we made plans and I visited her, spent some time with her and her daughters also finding out that she has just recently ended it with her husband... He is doing all the things we tell people not to do on here, begging, pleading, crying and she says how much it just turns her off and how much she is digging his own grave. It was interesting to here things from her side and how she is able to communicate her hurts and feelings. (Very different to my own W) She didn't say anything about anyone else (she doesn't have any reason to lie to me either) but I'm wary of being in the middle while they are sorting things out.
- Heard through the kids that OM was thinking of buying a house and how W was excited but apparently the renovations are too expensive so that's not going ahead. Apparently has been searching for a new place for the last 6 months as he is being kicked out of his current appartment yet can't make a decision on finding a new place. Sounds about right from what I know about him, very passive and non-action oriented.
- Been over 3 years of separation so contacted my lawyer last week to find out the status of the divorce since it should be able to happen automatically now. Have had no response at all which is also kinda weird.
