Hey thanks JMC. Wow, we're the same age 46, and also the ex's, 44. I'm hanging in there...Not doing great, but not too bad either. I wish this forum did get more traffic...I very recently read where a lot of divorced couples do re-unite down the line, so I try to keep that in mind while at the same time improving myself and cleaning up some issues. Bomb on your 10 year? Ouch! Oh: My ex had her daughter at 17 or 18 also...We don't have the same ex, do we? LOL. I am going to stick with this. Right now I'm in complete NC although her daughter and I are still friends and we talk every week. Ex just came out of BK and she has not gotten her foreclosure letter yet, so she will be moving by the end of the summer it looks like. She still has spending issues from what I hear and has been very "crabby" as her daughter calls her. Ah, what the hell....I don't want to go back into the dating world(please, no) so I may as well keep at it. Kidding aside, I still love her: she used to be a very nice, fun woman to be with so I keep in mind the good. Fortunately, there has been no seriously bad stuff between us although we did get into an email spat a few weeks before the D date. As I have read: They just have to figure it out on their own and hopefully, they wake up. I'll be hanging around here...Seems we have the friends and family issues in common also. I just keep to myself regarding that and I don't say anything about it at all. Hope you're getting along also. Thanks again for your reply.
