Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums For Newcomers Leaping towards D Day

I've had those moments where I realized I didn't handle the sitch as best I could- I always send a follow up text to my H... but that's part of my 180's: acknowledging when I did something wrong and apologizing quickly (my pride used to keep me from doing that, and I would just ignore things until it blew over.)

So for me, it's worked to my advantage to apologize. H has actually acknowledged that he notices. Just look at your history with W, if this is a 180 for you- I saw it's not a bad thing to send it.

You and your kids are in my prayers (((mrmr)))

I am keeping the kids overnight tonight to avoid having to sit at Ws place for 2 hours after kids are in bed. I will drop them off at her apartment on my way to work in the morning. She does not agree to this because she thinks I am keeping them to try and lower my child support.....the thought never entered my mind but she has trust issues. She will have to adjust.
But I must admit keeping kids and freeing her up on Valentine's day doesn't feel good:-(

Michael, that boat has sailed, dontcha think?

And aren't you the winner here? You get to have the kids on V-Day.

Have a great little celebration with your kids tonight. Heart shaped pizza and those heart shaped sugar cookies, unless they had those at their school. Don't want them to be carbed out

Make a good memory with them.

Yes Labug, that ship has definitely left the harbor. But it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to help ensure smooth sailing for her and OM.
I don't think anyone would want to do that, but I am keeping the kids overnight tonight because it's the right thing for me to do for me.
I guess I am the winner, just don't quite feel like it at the moment. One day at a time, right? Or is it one breath?

Curious as to why? Most little kids like anything that's celebratory but of course, I don;t know your kids.

Or is it that you don't want to do it? Did you and W celebrate special occasions?

Labug I think you misunderstood, what I didn't want to do is help W and OM have a smooth night.
But that is out of my control.

You're right, I did. My mistake.

Had a great night with the kids. We did make heart shaped pizza,(thanks Labug), S10 said that mom told them she is having a baby. They are excited ...., I hope not to diminish that in any way.
D18 stopped in with some burgandy pepper steaks.......yum!
Started the grill up and ran out of propane:-( Plan b.......kitchen.
Having the kids sleeping under my roof feels right, I need them and they need me. All in all a pretty good day!
A few texts from W, most didn't need a response so they didn't get one. Some about taxes that I said I will work on this weekend. I didn't want to do life without her, but I will make it just fine.

Kids seemed to have a good start to the day, waking them up at 5:15 this morning made me prepare cor the worst. W would have gotten them up at 5:30 anyway. Hopefully they behaved at moms so she will lighten up about letting them stay at my house. I don't want to battle with her about this, but I will because it is best for me and kids.

W says Monday and Wednesday mornings are terrible for her.
