My daughter has not met this other person, nor will she for quite a while. I realized how most other people will perceive me dating this other woman so soon, but after going to therapy I realized I don't care what other people think, except of course my daughter. This other woman and I have talked at length about the problems/issues we face in the future as we deepen our relationship with one another. She is single, never married and doesn't have children. She has expressed to me her concerns about getting involved with someone who already has a family and it's something we talk openly about whenever things need discussing. She lives 2 hours away and we see one another every other weekend. We also work for the same company so when I travel to my job's headquarters we see each other then as well. We realize there isn't any hurry but at the same time I know this isn't a fling or a rebound. It's kind of difficult to put into words...but I just know.
As for my stbxw, she's shown surprising restraint when it comes to conducting herself. We've had many productive conversations concerning our daughter and I think she's resigned herself to the fact that we're both moving on. We live in the same town and I pick my daughter up from her house every morning to take her to preschool. I realize my wife is still hurting and I'm respectful of that fact. I have no ill feelings towards her. I wish her the happiness she deserves and know had we stayed together I wouldn't have been able to give her that. I know my leaving was a shock to her, but I hope with time, she'll see that it was for the best. We have alot of difficult times still ahead and I can only worry and deal with them as they present themselves. It's been very helpful to post on here and hear perspectives from others...so I sincerely thank you.
