W just texted she misses the pups. Then asked if I wanted to come over and watch old sitcoms, she has wine and salmon.
I told her "Sorry, no can do. Sounds like a heck of a party though, enjoy."
Man that felt good. Because I didn't even consider it. It was hard to resist adding any zingers ("Don't worry, I'm sure someday you'll find someone else to hang with"...or "That would be awesome! Except you cheated on me and I'm divorcing your ass.")
Happy for me. Posted via Mobile Device
No zingers Sham.
Polite, kind, respectful, confident, and all business.
But you know that.
Can`t wait until she finds out about the waitress, she will find out you`re dating sooner rather than later and I`m looking forward to her reaction.
I hope she finds out that you're dating before she goes on her next business trip. Let her wonder what you are up to while she's gone. The NC will drive her nuts. Once she knows that you are no longer at her beck & call, maybe reality will finally sink in. Keep up the good work.
She very well may know already. I only mentioned something vague, to one "peripheral" friend, no details whatsoever. Just that I was meeting with someone so I couldn't do lunch. Posted via Mobile Device
interesting symbolism in the pics of your dogs... almost feels like she is communicating that you are like her dog or something - or as reliable as a dog or ol' yeller or something.
here are some options for your kind response:
* pic of your new hard body
* pic of dbag mcgee (if you have one)
* pic of stewie from family guy
or even accidentally forward her a pic of your last date, and a follow-up txt of OOPS! wrong pic!

Wow she likes to keep herself top of mind awareness. She must be reeling. Almost hooked up last time she saw you - now you're blowing her off. Suweeeet! Posted via Mobile Device
My God, I can't believe she is STILL trying to have you over for all these casual visits. How freaking annoying. Just cut bait, woman!
She is clearly lonely and in constant need of company/attention. I'm sure this had a huge play in her infidelity.
BTW, I love Dad's texting suggestions. The Oops one, especially. Her reaction to you dating someone would be priceless.
Don't tell her or talk to her directly about your relationships - at least until the divorce is final. Indeed, I would suggest taking it slow with waitress if D will indeed be finalized in next couple of weeks. Yeah, just a technicality because marriage is dead, but you've taken high road successfully so far. Might as well do it all the way.
If she asks about the waitress (and I have a feeling it won't be a curious request, it will be a royal kimchi fit/conniption-style demand for answers), tell her: "If you like, I'll send a pair of my shorts, and you can have them analyzed".
Okay, don't do that, but I think you'll think of something-I'd go dark on it until the finalization, but at the same time, I think she may not be in such a hurry to finalize when she finds out.
Sham is either having a great night - quiet - by himself, or he's flirting with disaster with the STBXW. Should we take bets?
Nope, went for a spur-of-the-moment walk around the lake with my new spunky little companion. It was very, very nice. My mind is at ease with her. And damn she's cute.
Never responded to STBXW's doggie pics or her subsequent comments from this afternoon, blew her off without concern. And just now (12:57am) I get a text from her saying, simply, "I'm sorry."
As much as it truly does make me feel pain in the moment, I can't respond. WAY too little, WAY too late. I don't feel pain for my loss (had plenty of time to do that since June), I feel pain for her and what she's processing now, what's she's lost. She is lonely and regretting her actions. And it is her fault. And I feel no real love for her now, only a reminiscent ache...sorry W. You did this. Really.
I think one very stiff drink is in order tonight, and then it's time to continue moving on to bigger and better things.

Although I can only go by what you say (little companion and your stbxw gained weight) but it sounds like you are moving on to SMALLER and better things lol.
