Steve has a much tougher road than me but i know if he continues to reach out to all on the board he will be fine.
That definitely is the case.
I had another really good week with S3. We had a lot of fun and he enjoyed our time together.
Friday evening I received a phone call out of the blue from W's best friend. We are mutual friends and have similar aged children to our S3.
We talked all about W, she and her husband are very confused with our sitch and W's actions. It was an interesting conversation where she told me she has tried to talk to W to understand what is happening and was meet with "I don't want to talk about it". She also said that W has not talked to her family about our sitch either. She also said that W has changed.
FYI I haven't seen or heard from any of my W's friends until now.
While this is very surprising, it doesn't change anything. I continue to GAL by enjoying the gym, exercise and also catching up with friends. IC has also been going well.
Not looking forward to this coming Saturday. It would be our 5th wedding anniversary.
How did everyone cope with what would have been an anniversary?
"I don't want to talk about it"
You're W is better at this than you are. Because that is exactly what you should have said to this "mutual" friend. My guess, you wanted information. That you wanted to know if your W had talked to her family about your sitch. Etc. So let me ask you NZ, is that being attached or detached?
Next time a mutual friend calls and says wants to talk about your W, say "I don't want to talk about it, but I am willing to discuss how I am doing!" And then talk about how awesome your time with S3 is. How you've been staying busy. And how you've been work on yourself to be the best you can be. FOCUS OFF HER AND ONTO YOU!
As far as Saturday, do you have S3 or not? If not then go out and have yourself a nice dinner. Either with a friend or by yourself. If these idiotic COVID lockdowns are in place where you are then order it in. But celebrate being a happy, healthy, whole individual. Your MR is over so it isn't a true anniversary anymore. Whatever you do, do not reach out to her.
