Work is fine - at home of course. Been given a small pay rise recently which was welcome. Studying is good; first exam in a fortnight. I’m passing the mock exams so far which is encouraging.

Great update! Glad to hear it.

I wonder if she was actually annoyed because her friends and sister would’ve said things like “He’ll never change” or “He won’t take it seriously” constantly throughout S and after the D, when in fact I’ve done the complete opposite of that, without any influence from her or them.

Why is your best friend visiting your XW and helping her around the house? Is it just me, or does that seem odd to anyone else? I wouldn't appreciate my close friends going to visit/hang out with my ex.
