It has finally happened. This past weekend, I got a text from my ex and she is engaged! My friends have been asking me how I feel about it and remark, "Is it weird?"
Honestly? Not even a little bit.
Though I've changed a lot in my opinions about things, my desire to see Gretchen move on and be happy has not changed at all.
I've had a chance to meet Duncan and he seems a decent fellow. Maybe he and I could have been good friends in another lifetime.
But after a whirlwind four month dating romance, they are now engaged. My gut says he's a good man, I just hope he makes her happy. I'd hate to know what another divorce would do to her.
Speaking selfishly, I'm also thrilled that she'll no longer be alone since she might be a lot easier to deal with. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." That kinda thing.
I'm also grateful that the kids can have another adult in the house and maybe bring some balance in areas where maybe I or Gretchen are not strong in. We shall see.
I'll likely send a card, wish them the best and drop a Benjamin.
