I was supposed to have Xmas with the stbxw and her friend where she is staying. 4 days before Xmas she told me that I was not welcome as the house buyer pulled out, that lead the house purchase fall through too. She blames me but with her not doing her share and I disclosed moving out would take a bit longer... the buyer said he wanted a pollution report on the yard and pulled out before the test was done.

So, I spend it in the cold, alone and cooked a full roast chicken dinner. Spend the evening chatting online with a woman I now take interest in, and she sees me as a good man that can cook too. We shall see what things bring, all I know is that my family will not accept ex wife's tries for friendship after this stunt she pulled at Xmas. Best wishes for the new year my online friends.
