After 7 years, she’s dating. It was throwing me for a loop, admittedly. But the way she’s handled it with me has shown me something.

She doesn’t know who I am. In her mind, I’m the guy she divorced. But that’s not who I am. And further, she does not like who she thinks I am.

This has been freeing. I’m free to prove all of her thoughts she’s projecting onto our daughters wrong. It’s time to prove everyone who thinks they know me wrong. This is my 2.0 phase and I’m free to be me and seek my happiness around people who see me and support me.
