Not much has changed. Doing well. My relationship is maybe coming out of the limerance stage, but it's not unexpected. We are celebrating five months together today.
XW still texts me a lot about the kids, and even some other things (wishing me Merry Christmas and telling me she thought about my deceased Dad on his birthday). I don't believe it's temp checking. She's never shown any inclination that she regrets anything, and her relationship appears to be strong. It's more that we have a cordial parenting relationship, and she now feels safe opening up because she knows I have a GF.
It's hard to stop thinking about what happened though. I think this will be my last mental hurdle. Somebody posted about Joe Dispenza, and I found his videos fascinating. I've started to incorporate some of his teachings. I'm trying to train my body and mind to focus on a positive future--rather than cycling through the past. Then again, men who I know that got a divorce they didn't want told me it would take awhile to get over my XW. It took all of them at least two years and up to five years before they fully moved on.
I do enjoy my time with the girls. I don't have my XW critiquing all my parenting moves. I can raise them as I see fit. That's refreshing. Work is going well. Still haven't sold the house down south. Prospective buyers terminated the contract after the flooding in the basement. We have it off the market while it's being repaired. I can't wait until that house is off my hands.
