Boundary after big D part five

[BL42]

Mach40,

Did soup kitchen...Felt good.

Awesome! I did one last year on my first Christmas Day without the kids.

One lady has joined. No ring, really nice. She has stopped by out front a few times and we talk. Just general stuff, holidays, etc. Nothing major.

This seems like a prelude to an entanglement.

As far as Ex, we were/are amicable. Thats the best part.

Is it? Better than constantly fighting for sure, but sounds disingenuous - certainly not what you want.

Kids are really getting closer. Not sure why, but its good.

Good stuff. Sounds like you have a solid relationship.

Oldest said my youngest is not liking the new guy. Said she was very confrontational with him at Thanksgiving dinner.

Confrontational? How? It's not uncommon for kids to push back on any new partner of their parent, but they are adults and you are separated many years and divorced. Didn't sound like an affair / break up the marriage situation.

I think she feels he is a threat deep down..

Threat how? As in may be around for awhile, or a threat to her relationship with her mother, or being protective of you?

None of my business.

True.

Holidays do suck. Especially when you had them together.

Holidays are tough. Hang in there.

Did you explore the dating apps in SC yet? Wonder if it's a lot different than Alaska.
