I reckon Australia will beat Wales easily. Don't know about England SA - England have got an old tean and with Johnny Wlikinson not being fit it's not so good. I'd love us to thrash SA tho as we have SA relations and they are always crowing about how good SA is!!!!!

She went out last night (Fri) and left DD with her friend (due to Fri nights being my night to go out), out today and tonight (Sat), then asked if I could take DD to a birthday party on Sun. All in all, she is so self absorbed in herself that she does not really care about how DD feels.
She is so into herself that our agreement of taking turns to spend quality time with DD has gone in one ear and out the other. We agreed that I would look after her on Mon, Tue, Wed, and Sat nights, with Sun being open for either. She now has included Fri and Sun in her schedule to go out with OM.
I have bitten my lip, as it is not worth arguing over. I prefer to be spending the time with DD anyway. But W is in an emotional state that you cannot reason with, and everything she does is "fine", that other people have issues with her being happy etc etc
I took DD to the "Wave pool" today (like an indoor beach, with huge waves). I was in my board shorts and singlet, and W could not look at me when we spoke. Everytime she looked up, it was as if she felt uncomfortable "gawking" at me. It gives me a sense of satisfaction knowing that I look younger and fitter than when we got married, and she finds it hard to take that she has walked out on a "better model", of myself, and is stuck with Joe Average.
W is very easy to read, would be hopeless at cards
Anyway, Had a good week personally. Will be making soft shell tacos tonight for DD and will be watching the Rugby later tonight with friends.
Life is still good regardless of the hurdles
All my best to everyone, AndyV
AndyV M38 W36 D7 M 13 years Together 17 years W wants D mid Dec 06 (ring off) W wants separation early Jan 07 (she backdated to Oct 06) EA revealed end March 07 (Nov 06 W first meeting with OM) Hallmark moment "I care for you but am no longer in love with you."
My kids LOVE the wave pool!!! I always lose my suit top.
W seems confused, and struggling. That is sad that she is giving up time with her D though. Glad you can be there to pick up the slack, that makes you the better person.
I felt really bad last night as I was tucking DD into bed (before staying up to watch the Rugby). She started crying and said "Why don't you and mummy want to spend time with me, don't you love me anymore". She was all in a teary huff (mainly due to tiredness, you know how kids get, but still to say something like that).
I have tried to take up the slack, and have spent nearly all my time with DD when I am not working, but I think it is getting to her, considering our whole world revolved around her 11 months ago.
W will only have seen her for 20 mins since Thursday night to Monday evening, due to her staying with OM and friends and going out the whole time. She spent Friday night at a friends, last night and told me she was staying out tonight, and will go to work on Monday from her friends place.
Is this normal for women going through MLC?
Also, from being miss prim and proper, and quite a classy woman, she was wearing a tight "Miss Naughty" t-shirt yesterday (something she would no dare wear 11 months ago. She has also bought a t-shirt with "Yes they are real". She turns 36 next month, I don't see too many 36 years olds wearing these types of t-shirts.
I really do pity her, and know that when the reality hits when this is all over, it may hit her fairly hard when she looks back at how she handled things. But I am glad that I have been given this opportunity to spend more time with DD.
I am taking her to her best friends birthday party, and then spending the rest of the day with her.
I know that she is going through MLC, but I truly wonder if they ever do realise what they have done, and if she will ever regret things. She told a few weeks ago that she had no remorse, or regrets for doing what she has done, and that she is happy with OM. Sounds like she is going to "make" herself happy regardless, just to show everyone.
