If you're happy and you know it clap your hands

I am happy. Kinda still in limbo as far as all the external drama goes but the rest is good.

I'm still living at my house and will continue to do that until I sell it. Even at that point I will not move in with Gary until all of his custody issues are settled which it appears that will not happen until his daughter turns 18. But that's ok. She turns 18 next Dec. Just 10 1/2 months. Does that mean the money stops pouring out of his wallet? No, but it means that psychological warfare with the ex will end. That means that he will not have to answer to her for anything anymore. At that point he can support his daughter as he sees fit without a court order.

I also have decided that I will not move back into his house. It's been up in the air whether he is going to keep it or not. I think it is a great financial deal to keep it. A couple of years and he should be able to sell it for a profit but emotionally, I can't take it. And he is struggling too. He is finally ready to be completely rid of the ex and that includes the house. He wants to start fresh but now may not be a good time to sell. Decisions decisions.

But all in all, who cares about all that stuff. We are spending as much time together as we want. Well almost as much time. We hung out with my cousins last weekend and had a great time. It was much needed down time with another happy couple. It's amazing how much better the outlook is when you spend time in the presence of other happy stable people.

I did have my second face to face meeting with his ex. We saw her in Walmart. My judgement probably is a little biased but she is looking more and more like a crack whore. Down to about 100 lbs, very gaunt looking with large dark circles/bags under her eyes. I gave her a glance and a big smile then walked away. I have zero use for her and her ridiculousness.
