Sometimes we take the hard way to get somewhere easy. Actually about 99% of the time we take the hard way.
Lets try a different approach.
Look at the control you are giving to him. Anything he does. You respond. Anything you think he thinks. You respond.
I have said it before and I will say it once again. You two are doing the exact same thing you were doing... Only separately. The results are the same.
Now you posted here. That entitles you to my vote as the one to "Do Something Different." That one vote also cements your position as President of Doing Something Different.
Now that you know who you are lets discuss some of your responsibility's.
#1. You must try with all your heart and mind to show no "Emotion" to opposing countries.
#2. You must post your "Emotion" here for all to see and mock.
#3. You must find at least 2 things outside of DB board that will take your mind off the other countries for at least 1 hour.
Some suggestions for #3.
Swimming. Running. Calling an old friend (Female) and talking about the things you used to do. Vacuuming the house naked. Long drive in the car. Woodworking. Naked
Sorry that last one was just funny.
Those 3 things will help you become more prepared.
Ok now onto the fun stuff.
Go see the lawyer if you really need to. I know it feels like the right thing to do. Just tread carefully. Never tell the other country what the lawyer said. You will likely be a little disappointed in the way our legal system works. Remember.. You have 1 year from the day he signs the papers till the deed is done. Do you want to know why they allow you to just say we have been separated a year? Cause no one makes any money from a separation. Its the big D that makes the money flow. A year is a long F'ing time. Think about how long your days are now and multiply them by 365. Do not be in a hurry.
K I am feeling a little better.. Still not 100% I hope to give you lots to think about this weekend.
As a matter of fact I am gonna call for a presidential silence from you until Monday night. You only contact the other countries if it relates directly to the situation at hand. He wants to say goodnight to the kids. Or just general info. No discussion of policy on this trip. Tell him FG said so. I mean I am gonna get blamed when you are standing in front of the judge anyway.
I will be back I have to take a break.
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
