"Anyway, the importance of keeping record of actual time spent is really important in visitation cases."
Protecting your interests should always be a top priority. There is nothing "wrong" about doing it. It can also go a long way towards giving you that "spine of steel".
"I'm going to continue seeing new guy & enjoying his company at the same time admitting I can fully understand what happens when someone is added to the mix. It definitely muddies up the water for any thought of R the M."
You mentioned this a couple of times over the posts here. All I can say about it is to be careful with it. You have done some testing and have seen the outcomes. Don't make a dramatic movement until/if you see some definite change. You will know it if/when it happens.
You have been where you are now before (sans the "friend" if I recall correctly). Remember, people like to do the same things.. even to a fault sometimes. Being "stuck" can be more comfortable than change. Look at what has changed in your life. See what is better, decide what is not. It is amazing what can happen when you just can't "care" anymore?
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
