The previously mentioned cracked tooth ended up requiring a root canal and crown. Got that done yesterday. I had a couple of really traumatic experiences with the dentist when I was a kid so to this day it really stresses me out getting work done. It all went fairly smoothly though.
Nothing happening in my love life, LOL! XGF decided to start a fight over nothing which only served to remind me why I quit seeing her. What started out as a small disagreement over text escalated into her telling me everything I ever did "wrong" (most of which was her own twisted interpretations of what really happened) which has become a repeating theme with her. I have no idea why she even reaches out to me when it always ends up like this, maybe she just wants a punching bag. I did some listening and validating and eventually when it was clear that it wasn't helping I just told her to please stop, I was done with the convo. Then I muted her. That was Monday, haven't talked since. I fully expect to get a message in a few days acting like nothing happened. I'm very close to blocking her, the only reason I haven't is I have some of her stuff still.
Work is busy, working out is still going well, no injuries for a while which is a nice change. Kids are all doing well. XW was pinging me on a regular basis but has gone mostly quiet again, which is fine by me. A friend was asking how I was doing and I summed up the last month for him- my dad died, I buried him, I went through his personal belongings, I broke up with my GF, I cracked the heck out of a tooth, a guy at work retired and I inherited all his projects that he's been neglecting for months. He was like "oh man you must be really down" but I'm not! I actually am feeling pretty good despite all the bad stuff happening. I really don't know why. I guess it's after going through BD, S and D and the incredible hurt and pain, and surviving it and even thriving again, that these other things seem fairly minor by comparison. I'm happy inside and no one and nothing can take that away (hopefully!)

Whatever works for you is what I say! Who says you have to settle in and get married again. By the way I am always Mr. (w)Right because it's my last name
