I'm Back! (6)

[Terapin]

Hi folks. Hope you're all well! It's been almost 2 months since my last post, so thought I'd just check in with everyone.

Life is rolling along. XW and I continue to coparent reasonably well. Son has been doing fine, although it still bothers him going back and forth, and not really having a set schedule. He also seems a little bummed out that in a few weeks it'll be his first birthday since the D.

My mental state has been pretty good I guess. I still find myself thinking about XW a lot. Not really missing her, but just missing the former life. I suppose the first year is the hardest, since every date/event now is the 'first time' (birthdays, 4th of July, etc).

I've been seeing a girl that last month or two. It isn't/wasn't serious. We haven't had sex or anything yet. But things are progressing. Sometimes I feel a little too quickly. But she's really cool, understanding, and most importantly, seems to really like me.

Two of my best friends (husband and wife), and my brother and his gf have booked a cruise over New Years. They've begged me to go with them, and have mentioned it several times to the girl I'm seeing. She is totally into it. That's good, but a little scary. We still have several months to see what happens.

Anyway, hope all is well with everyone!
