Mat, I definitely concur with you. I'm anxious to hear back from my attorney and see what she has to say since I never got to meet with her. Her partner sure seems to think my H is loco. I don't want to fight, but I'm not going to be walked all over either. Maybe some of this will bring my H to his senses.

When does the hurt ever stop? I had meeting with lawyer Friday since I had not got to meet her in person yet. She just went over a few things with me. She wants to file for a separate maintenance agreement.
When I got home I asked D19 if she wanted to go get some lunch. She said she and other D16 had to go to Dad's shop. He was grilling burgers for his guys. She said I don't know why he wants us to come. She didn't fix up or anything, just put her hair in a ponytail and went. They were gone less than an hour. She said that there were lots of people there, including H's family. She thought it was going to be a small event. I think she was a little embarassed by her appearance.
H's cousin's D had wisdom teeth out Friday. I called to check on her. While I was talking to the wife. She told me that her H (cousin) told her that the OW/secretary and her D were there at the cookout. Cousin said my daughters did not look very comfortable and didn't stay long. I was mad and hurt that he is already trying to bring my daughters around her. My daughters didn't tell me she was there, I'm sure they didn't want to upset me. He has never had a cookout like this before. It's like he's trying to be Mr. Bigshot. My oldest D couldn't understand why I was letting this get to me. She thinks I should already be over all of this stuff. It hurts so bad not having family close by to talk to.

I went to a wedding last night. The bride I have known since she was a baby. As they were saying their vows, it really got to me. Especially the til death does apart. How sad that almost 21 years ago my H and I repeated those vows and now they have no meaning to me.
After the wedding I went to the reception thinking that I would make an appearance and leave. Guess what I was among the last guest to leave. I had a great time. Danced, drank, and made a new friend.
How's this for GAL? One of my friends that I teach with lives an hour and half away in a condo on the lake. She was with her husband and their friend (my new friend). They invited me over today to go boating. I'm excited.
My H is taking my DD's and their friends to the lake today and I was feeling kind of down, but not anymore because I'm also headed to the lake, just a different one, but in the same town, ha!
It was funny last night because on my way home last night my D16 called and said where are you?!!! I said I'm on my way home from the wedding. She said you stayed that long? She went also, but she and oldest D left soon after getting to the reception. It was funny that D was checking up on me instead of the other way around!

Oh one more little tidbit. The reception was at the country club. Before we left we went to the bar area and sat in there and listened to music. We stayed about an hour. There was only about 10 of us in there. As we were leaving a man that had been staring at me a lot stuck his hand out and said it was nice to meet you. Well the funny thing is that I never met him. He said what is your name? Very flirtatious. Very bold too, because I was with two men and a woman, how did he not know that I wasn't with one of those men? Very good for my ego. This feels weird, I haven't been out in "the real world" in a long time.

Isn't funny how the grass always seems greener on the other side. Reading this I kind of envey you that the waiting is over and you are starting new. You on the other hand may wish you were in my sitch that looks hopefull that we may work things out.

Yoyo, it was good to hear that you had fun at the wedding. A co-worker is getting married later this month and I went back and forth about whether or not to go. It's actually her THIRD wedding, but she is acting like it's her first. I did RSVP for 1. I decided I just needed to go and show myself that I could do it! Matilda
