Just got an email from my wife's boyfriend's wife. She has been snooping again. She told me that my wife and her husband never broke up... it was just a temporary skirmish.
Also told me that the in-laws that I thought were on the side of marriage are, in fact, not. They are conspiring with her to facilitate the divorce. It seems that they have bought into her line of BS regarding me being an evil, awful person. They have loaned her (given her) the money for her attorney, and promised to pay her living expenses once she is rid of me.
She bought the puppy for two reasons: One, to piss me off, and two, to make me think that she is using it to assuage the pain of the break-up. She has failed on both accounts.
I have an attorney picked out, and have made an appointment to see him. I have a feeling that this is going to get ugly.
The one trump card that I have left is the kids, especially the middle one, who is very sensitive and does not handle change well. He hates it when I travel on business. So he’s not going to like the divorce thing at all. He has told us as much.
Also, I have made clear to her that, when we tell the kids we are divorcing, we will not say, "We have decided to divorce." It will be on her. In fact, I told her my line to the kids will be, “Mom is not happy, and she believes that she will be happy if she divorces me.” Her blood ran cold when I told her this. However, she knows that it's accurate. She also knows how superficial and selfish it sounds. Because it is.
Finally...I have decided that, once I have “let her go,” I will let the cat out. Everybody’s gonna know what she did. She’s not going to like that at all. But she has Shrek to help her through the tough times ahead. He listens….
