Finally asked her out on sort of a date last night, just the two of us and felt like a teenager all over again.

I didn't ask where we were going or anything serious like that, just chatted and played it cool.

Was nice though.

Hope it progresses eventually into more as it feels pretty good.

 

Yes, I know guys - take it easy 007. [emoji6]

My ex spent a week in NZ and has landed a job down in Dunedin at a University there. She will leave end of September to start in October.

The time frame for this has been very quick. She applied and had two rounds of Skype calls and then flew over last week for some one on one meetings and on Wednesday was given the gig.

 

Hardest part is she will take our two young daughters. Initially we discussed them staying with me for the two months that she is there to get settled, but my work situation makes it very difficult for me to commit to being a full time parent over what is my busy season which includes lots of travel, long hours and weekend work. So for stability we decided they go with her now. We have worked through how we go about the maintenance and contact and while its a very bitter pill to swallow for me and the hardest decision I have ever had to make I cant fight anymore. The future for them in NZ is brighter than it is here.

I have cried buckets over this.

 

The flipside for me is that it opens my work opportunities overseas as I have a UK passport and no ties to keep me here once they are gone. I can plough head first into work and making my way to getting back up on my feet financially. 

 

But it is hard none the less.

 

Not to mention a new lady who breathes fresh life into my current existence. So while it's very much still new and exciting but I am so much wiser now than before and we are both on the same page. So like the other saga, its one day at a time. And good quality time with her beats the lack of quantity time.

All the best for the difficult time ahead.. can't even begin to imagine how tough it must be for you.
