Wow! What a post.

I bet you feel really good now you've got all that off your chest.

It seems you have been lurking around for a while now, so I'll leave all the standard welcomes for someone else to write.

your last paragraph seems to tell me you know exactly what I am going to think about your sitch, so I'm not even going to comment much about it. Hey...you are probably not even paying attention anyway, so why should I bother.

Funny that.....you even say you know what your W's LL is (I have NFC what my W's is....seems to be a bit of everything)....but much like you don't want to pay attention to any posts here, you don't want to pay any attention to your W's LL either.

You say your W is really attractive...and you are/were "THE MAN". It may have been a shotgun wedding, but is/was being "THE MAN" the reason she stayed with you all that time. Perhaps she just stayed with you for the kids. I don't know and you probably aren't paying attention anyway.

With all the information you have, you really do have a big advantage over any OM and you could really have a go at getting your W back......but maybe that is not what you want.

Your post sounds as if you are trying to convince yourself that you want to be the WAS. There's probably nothing stopping you. Is that what you really want? As long as you are like that, your R will probably be more of the same sh*t.

You have to decide what it is you want? I wish I had the opportunity to turn things around as easily as you probably could. I would be the first one to make the changes, especially if I knew what my W's LL was.

F*ck me! I bet you are great to have a few beers with (actually I'm not sure about that, you might just want to keep talking about yourself), but somebody near you needs to give you an effing good kick up the arse (ass). Either that or pull your head out of it.

You said I could just say it......hopefully now you'll get some posts that will help you.
