I have spent the last two full weeks at W's house. I'm not sure if we're "piecing" yet, but we're definitely moving forward. She has ended things with AP and committed to a MR with me. No more "if we get back together" statements. She had gone NC for a week and then reached out to AP. Huge bummer but I'm trying to understand and not let it effect my PMA. She said they had a healthy convo about why things had to end and that she felt a need to "check in" to make sure AP was ok. It definitely hit a nerve with me because I really feel like it resets the timeline of healing - but I kept my composure for the most part. W is setting up a budget for us to buckle down on saving for a house and talking about the next steps of me moving in full time. For now, I'm staying with her each night but keeping my own apartment. Things feel really good and I'm so hopeful that we can find our way through this together. We had a brief R talk when she told me about the convo with AP. I felt myself getting heated so I tried to end it ASAP. The last thing we need is for me to lose control with my emotions and push her away. I have a right to feel the way I do, but I am still learning and working on expressing them in a healthy way. No more going emo-hulk and sob/screaming my pain. It isn't a pretty sight HA! I'm definitely proud of that growth.
I agree May - seatbelts are most certainly needed for this next part.
