Maybe not too complicated to understand

[Michael Mc C]

I can definitely see her taking it as far as finalizing a D. I just can't tell with her anymore.

From what I understand about him, and from what I used to know about her, neither one of them will leave their homes to take up permanent residence in another state (he's in VA, she's in NJ). However I can certainly see them thinking that travelling 8 hours one way every couple of weeks is a worthwhile venture - at least for a while.

These two knuckleheads (sorry, I meant mature and responsible adults) are falling over each other so hard that I wouldn't put anything past them at this point. Maybe they'll find a place geographically centered between both homes. Then my W could get up at 3:00 a.m. to drive up here to get our kids off to school in time. She can hang out playing online at her mother's house until the kids need to be picked up and then she could get back to "their" new place by 7:00 p.m. to be with him.

Not much time for a job and school but I'm sure he'll cover all expenses. Wait, he doesn't have a reliable car... damn, guess I'll have to pay for the gas and tolls with that plan as well -

Let me say one thing and it's not an apology in any way. I don't believe they are knuckleheads - I just love saying that word! I don't think either one of them is an idiot, of inferior intellect or in anyway touched in the head. They have been overwhelmed by emotions and do not have the ability, nor the desire, to pull themselves out of the fog.

Morals and strength of will may be an issue but these are intelligent people who are acting in a wreckless and irrational way. Their emotional responses to this situation do not excuse their actions but instead explain them. Believe me, I am a firm believer in there being no excuse for this (even if you are a knucklehead .)

I said before that I would not defend my wife for her actions and decisions but, to be fair, I also can't portray her as something she's not (although she seems to be doing that quite well on her own).
