Do your best not to react, one way or the other. Try to remember that it doesn't cahnge anything.


When you say don't react... do i say anything? Or just take it and smile or?

Well, you aren't going to smile. I think you say as little as possible. Try to treat it like it isn't a good thing, it isn't a bad thing. It just is.

Hmmm that's a challenge... I guess it will show my true character when it happens

hey look at me, i haven't texted/called/emailed 2 days in a row.. W goes to work to do 1 client at 6 PM.. i am very curious to see if the workers went and fixed the issues in our new home.. but will resist finding out..

I look forward to working out tonight (funny how i look forward to that)

Obviously if she left the papers in the kitchen and sent you a text that there's chicken in the oven, she wanted you to see the papers. Something like that doesn't just get left out on accident.

Also, it's my understanding that SHE CAN'T serve you the papers herself. It has to be done by someone else. I would just take them, sign, and walk away.

Good grief. A year? It's only 60 days here. You have a lot of time.

The papers have been in the kitchen corner for awhile, she bought the kit from Staples for 40 bucks. yesterday they were moved.. and in her carry bag, all filled out... i snooped and read them. And yes you are correct i don't think she can serve me.. but i am not 100% sure. She actually left me a VM saying there is chicken in the oven..

oh well back to my meeting ZZZZzzzzz

I've been thinking that also. Very weird that it's all been out there for you to snoop and see.

Oh, and no she can't serve you herself. You have to be served by a law enforcement officer, which costs money. Unless you sign a special "waiver of service" form.

In my sitch, W didn't want to/couldn't afford to serve me, so I stalled several months before signing the waiver.

From the outside looking in, I think she just wants you to know she's serious about this. Like I said before, if she REALLY wanted a D, and quick, there would be a lawyer.

Well she left it right there on the island in the kitchen... she knows me better than that.. i read everything.. and just prettily put it back in her bag. Not 1 word from me, and i won't say a word to anyone but you guys.

She can't afford the lawyer, she wants to do "mediation" on the cheap... my salary in nearly triple hers.. but i don't want to spend money either. (I want my W back)

I saw that she had a photo of me, and her sister was going to witness that it's me..

there were probably 6-7 copies of this document.

I am not sure what and when.. just that it is coming. I KNOW she expects me to cry/whine/complain...

I have no plans on doing anything other than remain positive and listen if she talks..

Funny she mentioned a couple days ago when i texted saying the dogs were keeping me busy " imagine if it were real kids" makes me think
