Had a good weekend with the Dr. She got a little tipsy on Saturday night but it was all good. I told my daughters yesterday that I had a girlfriend. They asked me to show them a picture, my oldest asked me if we met online, my youngest asked if we were getting married, my oldest asked if she had any kids, and they both said "cool". No kid introductions have happened or have been planned at this time. I am going to send my xw an email just to let her know in case the girls mention something to her about me having a girlfriend. I would rather her hear from me than them it is out of courtesy.
Not much else to report. I will see her again on Thursday and then Saturday night. I feel very comfortable around her, no anxiety, no stress (outside of what I place on myself), I don't question her feelings or her intentions. She has been as advertised since day 1. In many ways I know we are still getting to know each other (she is kind of quirky and a little eccentric) but at times it feels like we have been together for years. There is just a comfort level between us. She told me on Saturday that she feels like I just "get" and understand her. Truthfully I don't know that I do (yet) I just sit, listen, and soak it all in, validate and don't pass judgement.
That said I do find myself being a little nervous as things advance between us and more people find out especially now that she has started posting on SM and tagging me in posts. I know it's part of the process but I find that a little nerve racking. I think part of it has to do with my xw and hoping that this doesn't ruin a very cordial and amicable co-parenting relationship. I have buddies who had their xw's go off the rails once they found out there was a girlfriend in the picture. I think I am also nervous for my girls as well. Daddy has never had a girlfriend before so I hope it doesn't impact them in a negative way. I think they will be ok as they have been around their mom's BF so it shouldn't be that big of a deal to them.
I still go to the gym and do my thing daily, I have my girls this week and they are in summer camp. My youngest is playing bball this summer and my oldest volleyball. We went boating on the lake yesterday, got some rays, had a few adult beverages then had dinner at the Marina. I got sunburned, might be slightly hung over but I still made it to the gym! I do look forward to including the Dr and her son in on these activities.
