Marcums done

Hi. I can see where all of this is good. She has been dragging you through the worst part of it for a long time. If she does something, like serve you papers, then you will be finished with the painful limbo that you (we) are experiencing now. I believe that you will finally be able to live in a better world where you know where you stand and you can stand. This, my friend, is where you need to be if you are going to make it work with her or anyone else. I love writing to you. It reminds me that I do understand this stuff even if I can't always make myself feel better, and you are the same. Let her serve. Move on. Stand up.

It is so weird how they only remember the bad things. My W spent the weekend with the kids and could only tell me stories of how bad they were. I picked them up and had a wonderful time. I am hoping it is temporary. She wasn't always like that.

As for missing the friend. Sigh. Me too. We will have a friend like that again. That's what they say. And they are almost always right. Maybe it will be the same one. Not today, though. Now get happy with what is going on. I understand if that sounds stupid. It always does to me. But every now and then I realize, happiness is the key. Try this, at the end of today, how would you like to do it over again. You would know exactly what she would or wouldn't do. I would relax and enjoy the good parts and skip the bad parts. Don't wait, do it the first time. You can pretty much guess what she is going to do or not do.

Don't worry. You and I are going to take the rest of this life and enjoy it. Come on!

I am writing to me as well as to you. I wish we didn't have so much in common, but we do. Good Luck. L
