A man was walking along one of Southern California's sandy beaches with his surf board. He suddenly spots this bottle which has recently washed up on the beach. It's obvious it's been tossed around for a long time. He picks up the bottle and notices that it still has the cork intact. So, being curious as to what may be inside, he manages to get the cork out and out pops a Genie.

The genie said, "OK, You released me from the lamp. This is the fourth time this month, and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three... You only get one wish!"

Being an avid surfer, it doesn't take the man long to say, "I've always wanted to surf Hawaii, but I get seasick on ships and I'm afraid to fly. Would you build me a bridge to Hawaii?"

The Genie replies: "Do you know what you are asking for? Do you know how long the bridge would have to be? Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. And the maintenance of that bridge! No - you have to think of another wish."

The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish.

Finally, he said, "You know, I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women ... know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment ... know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say nothing ... know how to make them truly happy ... I really want to understand women and how they think!"

After a long sigh, the Genie responds: "Would you like that bridge with two lanes or four?"

We don't have that written in the joint agreement.
I was naive and believed XW will want to share everything with me regarding the kids.
She had full custody. We are not on equal footing.

I guess no point understanding the irrational. Good story though.

So far, taking the high road has gotten you nothing. Time to start getting some of your rights back. If you're not even going to try, then I'm not sure what you're complaining about.

I mean you gave away all your rights, so all the things that are going on is a consequence of that action. I understand you were trying to be the "nice guy" but it hasn't gotten you anything.
