Praise the Lord

She has a boyfriend!! Whoopeee! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah, Amen. I can not even begin to explain how ecstatic I am that S. has finally gotten some semblance of a life. Which hopefully means she will spend less of her time trying to interfere in mine. But alas every rose has its thorn...it bothers me that she felt the need to rub her new relationship in E.'s face. Couldn't wait to tell him about how she is getting "serious" with her new someone. And how her man is all the man E. wasn't to her. The way I see it, when you end a relationship and you really have moved on, you don't care what your ex thinks any more. You don't want their approval, you don't want to make them jealous, and you don't feel the need to gloat. All you care about is the happiness of you and your new boo. So its obvious that she is not really there yet, which means there is a part of her that is still trying to hold on to my man, my husband.

She also continues to make comments about our marriage (I'm hearing this second hand from E.) as if it some how isn't real, as if I'm just pretending to be his wife. I recently read a fictional novel about a woman trying to shield her new husband from the conniving mother of his son, and she felt getting pregnant herself was the only way to shut the baby-mama up about the validity of their marriage. But I have no plans of going to that extreme. I do however feel that the time for us to sit down and chat is growing ever nie. I have been avoiding this inevitable conversation for years, but now I'm feeling like not only does it need to happen sooner rather than later, but it should probably be initiated by me. I'm not saying I'm going to ask her over for tea tomorrow. But before the year is out, I intend to say what I think needs to be said to her in person. Lord give me strength.
