Today I could tell when she called that she was struggling emotionally, so being the stand-up guy that I am I told her that I am perfectly willing to be the punching bag for whatever sadness or rage or anger or whatever she has that she needs to get out.
Because I really want her to have a nice, clean, fresh start in her new life. It doesn't do the kids ANY good to have their mom down, and plus they're embarking on a great new adventure -- two homes, how cool is that? They're going to feel sorry for those kids who only have one.
I'm so totally committed to a successful, pleasant, happy break-up that it just TOTALLY bums me out to see her struggling so. So if there's ANYTHING I can do to help make this easier on her she shouldn't feel embarrassed about asking. Heck, that's what friends are for, right?
