Just before I got home Lawyer phones and I confirmed to him to put Divorce "on hold" till further notice... with this stuff going on I will just let it alone until "Ex" brings it up...

So "Ex" showed up 15 min Before time I suggested that she
come for supper...

She came in and said I'm not staying for supper but since you invited me I thought I would drop by.

I said you might as well have supper it is ready...

She said no... another time... I have some shopping to do...

I said well how about you let me make you some to go

She really liked that...

She came in we chatted about the schedule and got it set into September.

She has a really good chance to get on Full time with the company she is working with...

Hope for stress on relationship with New "BF" still there...

Then we chatted about little things... basically avoiding talking about anyother people in our lives...

She complimented my New Tattoo and said how much she liked it and thought it looks even better every time she sees it...

She asked how I have been doing...

I Looked at her and replied... "Not Good... but I don't want to talk about it.." very calmly and seriously

She was quiet and said Ok...

We chatted a bit more and I mentioned one good thing about being angry.. Im getting real good results in the Gym...

She said ... yah anger is good that way... and then realized it was her that I am angry at...

I fixed up her "To Go" Supper and said you know... you have been her long enough now to have had supper...

She blinked and said Oh I need to get going... and then she said...

Ok... Im going to hug you... just a friendly hug.. just a nice hug... I find it comforting...

I looked at her and said "Shut up and hug me allready"

NOTE: COMFORTING WTF am I your daddy... sheesh...

She hugged me big and hard and only let go becasue her phone started ringing...

Great... interupted by the "OM"

It would be the new "BF" of course... She ran out to car because she knew I would not like her talking to him in my house...

And said she would be back to say bye to the kids...

She came back gave them hugs and said See you guys tommorrow and shouted up a good bye to me.

What can I take away from this positive... the lines of communication are open...
