The first time I remember meeting the new girlfriend of an ex was unexpectedly on the street in NYC; I rallied my inner diva and performed a Tony worthy performance of "so glad to meet you". This morning I had the opportunity to reprise that role when I dropped the little one off for spring break with the crazy man. I knew that the 'partner' would be there with her children as they are all heading off to the Death Valley. The crazy man was quick to introduce me. I of course greeted them in kind and wished them well on their adventure. Then I got a look from the partner, who was less then warm, that could have been either 'omg what have I gotten myself into' or a reflection of the fiction the crazy man has spun. I'm hoping for the latter since, as you know, I've calculated benefits and risks for various time spans this relationship could last and I need her to hang in there at least through the summer; ideally this could go on for two or more years but I could deal if she can last until September!
Let us all pray that she hangs in there. Goodness knows he's in a better place at the beginning of a relationship.
