That's a good idea G. He is the type to dominate conversations and I found myself interacting with him more than she did my girls. I guess part of that reason is because he is a non stop chatterbox and also because my girls were in a comfortable setting where they knew everyone. They didnt have to ask her for anything like he did of me since I was the one kind of over seeing the kids. It was her time of the month and she had been battling food poisoning from the night before so she was pretty quiet the entire time just sitting on the boat talking with adults that she has just met for the first time.

I'm ok being a father figure I kind of figured that I would end up with a woman who had primary custody since that is generally the norm. I guess thinking that and it being right in front of my face are 2 different stories. We chatted last night and she texted this morning so I haven't pulled back but it's a lot to process.

I also spoke to my dad for 2 hrs last night and my mom has called me several times so that has helped.
