Still putting one foot in front of the other...

Hi Elb! It might not feel like it, but reading your updates, it sounds like you are in a good place. You are self aware when you need a break and have a lot of plates spinning in the air, but making it work!

I don't have a lot to add as CW and DnJ have given wonderful advice and support, but I am in your corner!!

Re: your STBX - acting sweet and like a 'friend'. Mine did and continues to do the same. There is no rhyme or reason behind it. He has told me I'm beautiful and compliments me constantly, whereas during the last year of us prior to BD he didn't even notice me. He even offered to come and mow the lawn in my new place. I try and not focus on him, like you, and just focus on what I need to do to move forward and heal.

Keep your chin up and keep moving forward! It's so encouraging to read how you are handling the changes. And also - enjoy the fact that the young man finds you interesting. I hope it's a reminder that you have value even if your STBX couldn't see it! I'm 47 and the only people who have shown interest are 20-30 year olds!! it's crazy. I just take it as a compliment and move on lol
