He was warmin his hands with a hot coffee cup Pourin in whiskey as i walked up he never blinked an eye He just asked for a light, i noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes So i pulled out a twenty said go buy some food But he just stared at his cup like i wasn't there Then he looked at me said son that's nice But there's some things money can't buy,
{chorus} I want my life back, i want that house that i called home, I want that job i worked for 22 years before i got laid off, I want what i had when i laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me And that man i used to be, i want my life back
I walked through the door and sat down at the bar Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head, Every word that old man said I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart I was to headstrong to admit when i was wrong It's been 6 months since she moved out Guess my pride aint helping me now
{chorus 2} I want my life back, i want that house that i called home, I want to hear her voice and see her face every day when i get off I want what i had when i laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me And that man i used to be, i want my life back
{bridge} I paid my tab and left that bar Grabbed my phone jumped in my car I dialed her number and when she said hello
I am still standing tall. DH was a bit of a butt this weekend and pulled another disappearing act. Whatever. D9 totally unloaded on her C this afternoon about all of this and the C is now positive that DH needs parenting classes and IC. In addition, she wants to suggest to him that he consider an ADD evaluation, as it often runs hand in hand with GAD, which he was diagnosed with 10 years ago. Man would I love to be in on THAT meeting!
The kids and I have a busy busy weekend--banna split dinner with my mom on Thursday, concert on Friday, D9 any I will spend the day with FIL and DH on DH's carrier on Saturday while D6 and D17 go to a concert with MIL and SIL, and Sunday there is an air show at the beach.
The kids and I went to the beach on Saturday with SIL and niece and we had a blast! Sunday was a church picnic and Monday was a quiet day at home. I have many members of my family who have served in the Armed Forces here and the kids and I talked about them off and on throughout the day to remember the sacrifices they had made for our freedom. Have not seen or heard from DH since Friday night and he ignored two phone calls from D9 on Sunday. I figure he will just randomly show up tomorrow afternoon. We will see.

Just catching up. What is GAD? My H is ADHD and I'm sure that's playing into the MLC. I know some people question whether MLC is real or not, but if it isn't - that means my H just turned into an a$$hole?

Silver--
OMG! Too funny if its true!
GAD= Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
The possibility of DH being MLC was floated today by D9's C. Of course, she only knows what we tell her and the one appointment that DH has been able to attend, but I am beginning to wonder myself. If the OW were a 25 y/o skinny blonde it might be easier to accept, but with her being only 7 years younger than MIL and looking every bit of it while I am instead smokingly marvelous just makes me .

Yeah Bonehead. I am keeping up and ready with praise, advice or 2x4s if needed. I think what you are doing makes sense, acting out of love instead of fear. You are handling it. Cheers
SMW, Yes ditto for you! You big bonehead. Cheers
M22,H45,W45 S21/18D12 Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
Had to give you grief. IF I felt really abandoned, I would call Greek and make her put you on the phone so I could fuss you out personally.
I know. too, if ya'll thought I was really blowing it you would call here and rip me a new one personally.
So, how hot is it down there this time of year? Everyone is telling me i need to go away, without my kids, for a weekend or so and leave DH to deal with it. Greek once said you guys could be on a list of potential destinations.

I think your friends would even take up a collection to make it happen. I will put up the first $100.
Let it land in his lap and go have a fabulous, strong marvelous woman time!
If other options don't pan out, Upstate NY is in primo weather season.

I was thinking visiting you would be a blast--I could learn how to fish from you, too. Mike is supposed to teach me surf fishing, but some quiet lake fishing would be wonderful! Oh, and of course some adult beverages would not be amiss!
I cannot do much of anything before the end of June--I have three weddings to attend in two weeks. But maybe late July???
