Re: The Real World cont....after the divorce.
Another day with seeing the ex at our D's tennis match. He loves to stand close and hover. Amazing. After the match, he offered to take our D back to the house as she needed to stay to watch others. I wanted to leave.
He followed me to the car. Not sure why but helps me put my chair in the truck and then hugs. Then upon, D's drop off he comes in the house and hangs with her. I'm upstairs "napping."
My only analogy that I can think of is he's like a puppy. Like a lost little puppy.
Today, during the match etc. He told me he'd gained 20 pounds. I'm not sure but I did notice a few but the weather hasn't been good for bike riding (his exercise).
Mind you...I am really good at reading behavior. I can tell he's at the cusp of finding regret for his actions. This will take many more months to realize. Then, he may/may not do a thing about it. Just me foretelling the future!!
In the meantime, I'm having a life and doing quite well at it.
I've put a contact on a house and waiting to hear from the owner if he's accepted my bid. Then, the real work will begin.
