Baileykeg Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Hey everyone. I need some input here on what I should do.... As you know, MM's divorce will be final on Friday. He has to go to court at 9:00 for the hearing. He told me today that he will be seeing the W tonight to finalize some paperwork and to return her last few boxes of stuff she had at the house. He says he is having a hard time and is dreading dealing with this last piece this week. I told him that I understood it was a difficult week and that if he needed some space that I would understand. He said that he couldn't tell me right now what he was going to need but as of right now he was looking forward to me coming to see him this weekend. (We have the weekend to ourselves without my little boy). I'm not really sure how to handle dealing with him this week. I told him that I was going to just let him contact me if he needed me and that if he needed some space and didn't want to talk that would be ok too. Any suggestions on if I should do something different?

You have told him you will give him space if that's what he needs. I think he will tell you what he wants if and when the time is right. As you know, it WILL be tough for him this week, as it will be for you, but he knows you are there for him. Just bear with it. This time in four days it will all be over and he will be free to totally commit to you. I am SO happy for you. It's putting a smile on my face just thinking of the two of you together and I don't even know you personally. Feel like all us OW (exOW and otherwise) have been going through this together. Of course, as of Friday you will no longer have to refer to yourself as such! Absolutely brilliant!
