MJ,
Thanks for the encouragement and the reminders. I know, I have a hard time getting caught up in the analyzing and not just trying to live my life and take care of the kids and just be happy.

Let's hope the OW in your case is becoming controling and desparate! Sounds like a surefire way to end that relationship.:)

That poem is great - thanks for the recommendation. I guess that is my problem - not truly letting go and trusting that God will work things out for the best, whatever that may be.

I have been having a hard time lately with the roller coaster - but mine rather than his. One day I am happily detached and my focus is where it should be. The next I am feeling like I am just done and tired of being treated like I am not at all important when I know I could find somebody who WOULD treat me that way so why am I sticking around? The man I married was full of integrity. This one, not so much.

Right now I am living with half man/half alien which is strange. So much of the time he "seems" normal with his interactions with the kids, the dog, and even me at least to some extent. Yet he still wants space, is not around much, doesn't want to include me in his life, and obviously doesn't want the day to day responsibility of being a family man. Yet he hasn't quit his job like he said he was going to and just yesterday he finally got around to doing a couple of things I have waited months for him to take care of.

Sigh. Now my venting is done.:)
