So my STBXW and I have been navigating this process for the past 4 months. It’s been a lot of twists and turns. She wanted to work on it, then changed her mind, then calling the whole thing off. But what is really hard right now is that I’m going to be in the home for about 5 months. I think we can both be adults and be the best we can be for our child… but she can’t.

What is driving me insane is that she is so damn happy. She walks around humming. She is so loud with her phone conversations, laughing and carrying on. Is she really this happy? How can she just be so fucking happy? Like way over the top. We told our Son last week… and he is just pretending like we didn’t say anything. He refuses to talk about it. I’m just trying to let him know that I’m here for him when he’s ready.

But getting back to her… is this real? Anybody experience anything like this? I’m not looking for her to be miserable, but this is so weird.
