I just wanted to share with you ladies an update on how DS and I are doing  It has been about a month since my ex and I seperated and I feel so good. I actually have impressed myself with how ready I am to move on to this new chapter in my life. At first everything was so hard, I think I was scared of the unknown because I've been with Mike since I was 17 so I didn't know how I could be without him. I couldn't go more than 2 hours without breaking down in tears. Every day has gotten better and better and I don't even feel sad anymore. I don't miss him, I don't cry, or think about him constantly like I used to. Another thing that helps is seeing many of my friends that are in bad relationships and how miserable they are and knowing that I will never have to know what that feels like again. Once I am ready to date again I will know exactly what I want and what I won't tolerate and I know there is someone amazing out there for me. DS had a tough time at first and would cry for his dad a lot. Now we have a routine of days that I have him and days that he goes with his dad. Mike has been sticking to what he says he will do as far as what days he will pick DS up, and he has been paying me when he is supposed to. I keep our conversations short and strictly about DS or money. I know he's been seeing people.. and I've heard he is also on a few dating websites and while I feel a little sting of jealousy it isn't unbearable and it usually passes pretty quickly. I just hope that when he does start dating someone she either already has children of her own or she is mature enough to handle the responsibility of a 5 year old. I just feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. It's so much more peaceful being at home and not fighting or arguing. My house stays clean and I don't feel like I'm picking up after two children or having to remind a grown man to do things constantly. I'm content being alone and enjoying being single since I never really have been single (at least not since I was 16). I can't wait to see what the future brings for DS and me but for now I'm just enjoying life and proud of how far I've come. I couldn't do it without you ladies! ;D |
