Kimberly texted me on Thursday and after catching up a bit on how our respective summers have gone, she said that she made a mistake in breaking up with me and how sad and lonely she was.
It's the text I've been waiting for.
We're getting together Monday to talk and see if we can find a better way forward together.
I hope three months we've had apart has done us both some good - I've done a lot of soul searching and have several ideas about how things could be different that I think will fit both of our needs nicely. And of course, lots of discussion needed about how we handle (or avoid until it's too late) conflict and communication between us.
Of course, there's still a chance things won't work out but I'm hopeful we'll at least have the opportunity to try. Plus, we've never really had makeup sex so there's that.
In other news, I'm starting in a doubles tennis league on Wednesday and am cautiously optimistic. It runs through January so should give a lot of opportunities to get some experience when I'm so used to playing singles.
This morning, I co-lead a service at our UU church with my ex-wife. I'm very thankful that we've got such a positive co-parenting relationship compared to so many other divorced couples I know. Three different people came up to me after to tell me how much they liked what I said in my personal reflection and how great it is that she and I have such a good relationship.
Work continues to be a blessing and a challenge. I've got one co-worker that's stressed out and might be looking to move on because of the pressure. She and I were hired on the same day so I hope things can turn around for her. Working for a family-owned business is such a different animal. It sounds like I'm going to be doing a lot more traveling to visit clients (which I did a lot when I was hired but really not any for a few years now). It's not my favorite and I think it's a waste of money (there's been no correlation between client visits and client retention) but you know, whatever.
