[The Moon’s a balloon]

Almost 18 months after starting my second thread, I now start on my third. 

Link to my old thread here (I hope)

Tonight I went round to pick up the girls, and W asked me to rub her back as she had a muscle all knotted up.  She’d asked the girls but they didn’t have enough muscle.  All very weird, stood there in the hallway rubbing her back lol.  Anyway, I think I need to go and provide a link to this thread on my second thread.

Perfect - all correctly linked!

And following along... 18 months for one thread? 

As far as the back rub goes, I guess that means that you don't have Cooties or some other communicable disease anymore? <snort>

Weird it is my friend.  As UM said the cooties stage may be easing off.
I had a good laugh (to myself of course) my W was trying to scratch her back. You knkw the spot right under the shoulder blades we can't reach, lol. But after about 5 minutes of her flailing around trying reach it, I just calmly ask? Do you want me to scratch your back?
She said yes, can you please do it!!!!! That was always just a simple thing laying in bed. She would ask, can you scratch my back?? Now??? Well it must be huge.

That's because you have COOTIES!

I'll take the uncomfortable cootie stage over the stage where ?? Well best way I can explain it is when little dog gets close to the cat and all her hair sticks straight out from head to tail like a puffer fish cat, lol. I'm happy that's gone.

Thanks all
I know, I know - 18 months for one thread.  I need to post more often.  Sometimes it’s just finding the time.  I’m trying to keep busy. 

Nothing much more to report.  Things seem civil, but W seems to have stopped asking me to join them when she has the girls.  That doesn’t stop her asking to join us though.  D6 has had to have glasses.  It my was weekend when she went to pick them up, and W asked if she could come, as she wanted to be there.  Fine, but I had to bite my lip as this was only a couple of days after asking if I minded if the week we agreed she could have the girls to take them on holiday was pushed back a little, which would have covered my birthday.  I said I would mind, and she’s gone quiet about it since. 

The other day though, W rings in the evening.  She’s upset.  She’s just spoken to her dad, and it sounds like the prostate cancer he’s got has spread.  W says, very emotionally,  “Please promise me you’ll get yourself checked”.   I’m not sure what to say.  I have no symptoms (I checked online what they were) and, as I said to W, it wasn’t that long since I had my blood tested (my optician was worried I had high blood pressure- can’t think what would have caused that).   Still, a touching if odd moment. 

As I say though, things have been civil but she’s still out drinking and partying when she gets the chance.  Even D6 said to me the other day, “Mummy’s out boozing again”. 

Anyway, 2 years on Friday since W announced she decided we had to separate.  I’ve the girls with me for the weekend and we’re going round to a friends house for some tea, so hopefully that will keep my mind off things. 

Hope you’re all keeping well (and for those in the UK, surviving the weather).

Was it Valentine’s Day your BD?

They do pick their moments don’t they

Hi Rose
Yes, that’s right.  BD1 was on 14th Jan (ILYBINILWY, etc) then BD2 exactly a month later on Valentines Day, (‘I want us to separate’). 

They do.  Looking back now, I cant believe how calmly I took it.  Perhaps I was still in shock.  Part of me regrets not absolutely blowing my top at her.  It might not have helped but at least I would have got it off my chest.

Moon,

My Atomic "I want a divorce" BD was 3rd Advent so "Merry Bah-Freaking-Humbug Christmas"

Yep, they sure can pick the dates....
