what a great w/o! It felt sooo good, so glad I went. my s5 had a thrill and we ran into his teacher there. I knew she worked out there, but we are never there at the same time, so it was pretty funny. he was tickled.

I spent about 5 minutes thinking i would take the kids to a local farm, but have revised it and think we are going to revamp playrooms and go thru games and such, making way for any new toys santa might bring next month. maybe the farm tomorrow. I know, I know, h takes them to boston, lets them eat pizza and ice cream for dinner. I make them eat their veggies and reorganize. lol. well, we are having some fun, too, and will play lots of games and such, so don't feel too bad.

I just posted this question on donna's thread in response to something ot wrote there. am going to go ahead and pose it here, too:

this is what i am wondering about for my own situation. h has said he will be more generous with arbitration, but has yet to put any numbers in writing. he has said stuff to me off and on that sound great, but also tends to "forget" stuff later, so that's not worth much. I asked him recently to put whatever he was thinking of into writing and I'd consider arbitration, but haven't heard a thing from him since.

right now he says he won't file for divorce on me. I told him a couple of weeks ago that arbitration was off the table for me unless he came up with a proposal in writing that made it palatable. so we are at a huge impasse.

I guess my question is, do I go ahead and push for divorce, for arbitration, to take advantage of any generous instinct on his part? Or do I just sit back and let him approach me, one way or the other?

anyone?
