Yes, it's time for me to fly, literally and figuratively. I'm getting ready to head to the airport. I am not looking forward to leaving warm, sunny southern California, and heading for the cold at home. And it is very cold at home. I am looking forward to seeing the kids again, though.

Not much new is happening with me. I know that my wife continues to correspond with her boyfriend via telephone and email. So the "breakup" never really happened. Nothing has changed.

I know that her boyfriend has enlisted the help of a friend who is a computer hacker. With the help of this friend, he has hacked boyfriend's wife's computer and obtained transcripts of correspondence between his wife and me. Not much there, but my wife is looking for "dirt" on me. In fact, we went three months with no correspondence at all.

And just last week, my wife said she wanted to work together through the divorce. "We need to work through this amicably." She says this, then digs for the goods on me. I have not confronted her on this inconsistency. But I intend to.

As an aside, the reason that she is digging is clear to me. She is still on the fence regarding the divorce. She has noticed changes in me (positive, I hope??). Anyway, so she has noticed changes, and she is kinda scratching her head. So, in order to do what is "supposed to happen next" (and what her best friend and her mother are cheering her on to do), she is looking for justification. She needs more reasons to want the divorce.

Not sure what to do regarding the divorce, though. A part of me says that I should work with her. Another part says that I have a responsibility to protect myself. I will probably try to work it out with her, and if we can't come to an agreement, then the war will begin.

Hoping for 440 replies. I wanna beat lwb's record!!
