after talking with cornfed..I now believe she only threw me a bone because it benefitted her..because of her surgery..so now I feel like maybe I'm a doormat..more for me to think about..


I don't know about that Mike. After your convo with her the other day it may be something completely opposite of what you think.

IMHO sometimes when the battle is coming to an end, you step back and realize that all you have been doing for so long is fighting. Maybe it is time to mend instead.

She didn't have to offer, she could have made other arrangements. I believe what you said to her the other day may have just made her think some. Yes, it benefits her, it also benefits you. You get time with that little angel of yours that she didn't have to give you.


Also, not for nothing and no offense to cornfed, but his current situation lends him to point out the negative rather than look for the possibility of progress.

and with that..I can now feel..at work of all places work is not a good place for tears..


A fine man named Patton once said that after every battle he would take time to sit, reflect, and feel. He said that after every battle he would shed tears, tears for the men he lost, tears for the men who fought for the enemy, but mostly tears that it had to come down to a battle with casualties.

Your battle is over, your marriage was a casualty, Caleigh is a casualty, AND......

Everything and everyone will be ok.

I am glad you are feeling it Mike, it shows your integrity, commitment to your marriage vows, and what a genuine man you are.

I am here if you need me.....
