well thanks ladybug, I took your advice and texted her, The things you mentioned are the things I thought I would say to her if I talked to her, well anyways I texted her on Sunday, and not surprisingly I haven't heard anything back, I guess there really is nothing more I can do at this point, My lawyer has setup a mediation for November 15th to try and settle a financial issue which I already know is going to be a waste of time. Things move waaay to fast here in Mn, I do wish I wouldn't have filed but I got scared after she took some money from my checking account, I'm trying to look out for my two kids first and foremost. I am really stuck right now, Like I said I know OM is pushing her and making all kinds of promises about how their life will be great together blah blah blah. The surprising thing that really shocked me is that she gave up her kids to their dad, The woman I married would never go weeks at a time without seeing her kids, I'm pretty sure OM had a hand in this decision as well,(disguised as good intentions I'm sure) I realize everyone is different and she is exceptionally stubborn, but after 5 months wouldn't there maybe be a minute of reflection about her activities and some self-doubt? Or is this new life and new guy what she maybe really wants afterall? I have been getting on with my life in all other aspects and don't talk about my sitch with anyone except on here, but I am starting to lose hope and don't even know what I would say if she actually ever did contact me. I know there are plenty of other people on here that are in a similiar sitch, with the divorce being filed and probably final within a month or two, which I don't think is enough time for OM to show his true colors, is there anything else I can do except wait till the end and hope for some shocking revelation falls upon her?
