Sounds like a wonderful Christmas in comparison as to what it could have been. Your doing fine "young man". Under the circumstances, you did receive a nice Christmas present. Hope the gathering went well.
Again, our STBX seem to be from the same "lot number". I am fairly convinced that my STBX has some borderline personality issues, and the way that your STBX goes through the spectrum of emotions, it may be the case there as well. I'm not sure how you endure the time with her. No payback.
I loved the "If you wore a scarf like me you wouldn't get sick" line! Great medical advice. Here I was thinking sickness was bacterial or viral, but had I known it was as simple as donning a "magical scarf" I can cure cancer with a cardigan!
Your wife, like mine, will end up lonely, bitter and angry and NEVER find happiness, because they are both looking for someone else to pain a smile on their miserable faces!
Thanks for dropping by GB and FLTC. Hey, maybe I should adopt a monogram screen name just like you two, something like WTF! Yes, STBX is a pretty wild roller coaster ride but the good thing is that I don't try and figure it out anymore, when she's good that's great, when she's a bitch I try to stay clear unless we have to go at it about the kids. It was a bit of an emotional risk for me to sleep over Christmas Eve, afterall it was the house I lived in for 17 years and holds so many memories. I just felt I was emotionally stable enough to do so this year and it would be nice for the kids to wake up Christmas morning to Mom and Dad. I guess I'm lucky enough that we can still play family! Today, we are going to visit with a group of friends, I am taking my car so I can arrive and leave when I choose. It's such a strange world but it's the one I've got and I'll continue to do my best in it. Take care guys. Btw, I've heard that the scarf trick works great for STD's, you just wrap the scarf around...well, you know where!
Whatis had another wonderful family evening last night. We went to a gathering of old friends, two other families that STBX and I had hung out with for the last 18 years. We used to vacation together and each family has two children the same ages. When we split I had some concerns about attending our get togethers, these were initially STBX's friends and the wives still are some of her closest friends. Yesterday I decided to go and show these friends that I have not forgotten them. We all had a wonderful time and I didn't get home till 1:00am. We all carried on just like before although it's not like before. I guess it's another weird episode in the separated life of Whatis. How do you just toss aside people you've known for so long? I've always thought that the best thing to do in this surviving mode is to let go of the bad but try and hold on to what was good. By doing so, I continue to realize that there are people who really do care and will be there if you need them. One of STBX's friends asked me if I'd like take my girls shopping next week with her and her girls, that's nice. So, I carry on guys!
Well, the weird and wacky world of Whatis continues. This evening I'm taking STBX and family out to dinner and then we're going back to her place to bring in the New Year. She was quite excited to hear the restaurant I had selected because it's pretty new, Northern Chinese and she hasn't been there yet. At first, when I suggested we all go out for dinner she seemed hesitant and I realized it was because she's broke, so I offered to make it my treat. She had suggested that she cook New Year's dinner tomorrow instead but when I said I'd pay the freight she was OK with the idea. I also told her that if she had plans already or just didn't want to hang out that was OK with me. She said she had no other plans. So, that's Whatis's evening ahead, bringing in the New Year with STBX and the kids. Hmm, it's just like every other year. My head should be pretty f@cked up, now that I think about it, but what is is. Happy New Year DBers!
Weird, Wii! Hope the New Year's eve turns out to be fun!
