Am I doing this right??

[Goddess8]

I started NC to process my feelings and protect myself. Three weeks ago I found out OW was finally coming back from deployment. That was mothers day weekend. He pretty much forgot my existence. I was PISSED. I gave you three children and the last 17 years. Wtf repeated on a loop in my brain all day. I had not detached. I had been doing all this work on me and I was STILL affected by his BS. Sad part is I knew better. I didn't go NC as a punishment to him. But I will admit he hadnt yet to truely feel the potential loss of me. I know better than to allow myself to be manipulated by him.

As far as the lunch went I agreed because it was an honest invitation. I don't know what the status of the OW is. I know its been ugly and volatile from the git go. I didn't go with any expectations other than food
