...as of a couple weeks ago.
Still living together until house is sold or rented. Even the physical aspects of the relationship are ending (towards the end, that was all we really had left).
But we're staying in proximity to each other for them. And it's all mostly amicable/positive, for the kids' sake-- in fact, it was so strangely so that I had to (rather forcefully) remind everyone that she and I aren't really going to be hanging out together(!)
She's gone through all of this without so much as batting an eyelash and what with us all living together it was too ambiguous for the kids-- like the divorce was just another bad mood for Dad.
Her lack of remorse/guilt is, as I've posted before, astonishing until you realize that, were you to look inside her you'd see nothing there. But of course the kids just see 'happy mommy, unhappy dad'. Her passive-aggressive BS is astounding in that regard. I'm always painted as the bad guy for being upset and her shenanigans. sigh.
Well, my oldest boy gets it. He's seen her flirting, etc with his own eyes, he knows I'm honest, and he's already got an ethical core. So she can't really fool him. I worry about our 6-year old though. Oh well. All I can do is all I can do.
Thanks for taking the time to read, y'all. -BM
