Ok...quick update. Everything was fine. I went to pick up the kids and before I left my 8yr old asked my ex to spike his hair. She did and then washed her hands. A few minutes later, she made a comment (She is going to eat with her parents and sister and her ahnds still smelled). Her comment: "Oh, great I smell like a guy. Now they're gonna ask who I've been with". My joking reply was "Tell them you were with me. That isn't a lie. (We had a meeting today for youngest)" Like I said joking and then she replied:"Oh, that isn't going to happen." I said jokingly: "Oh no???" She said "Nope never gonna happen ever". Then I said "Oh still into the woman thing (Joking about her being a lesbian)" Then she said it isn't going to happen with anyone".

So, my mind says "What the hell and why is she willingto gout in a couple of weeks and sask for time off??" I am just worrying about nothing? Is this the typical defense mechanism or does she mean that? I have heard her say it before, months ago. I have even had her hint that in our going and doing stuff; but she still goes???

Sorry I know it's patience and maybe not always believing what they say; but I hate this. I want to fix it; but I also am wondering how hard I should look into dating others too. I will date; but I put the online stuff on hold in my mind and am wondering if I should???
