LIMBO NO MO!

gima,

I spoke to W and told her that she and I had been on our last trip together.

Good for you for putting a quick, decisive end to her literal trip to Fantasyland

Of course, she got angry (as I expected she would) and I was the bad guy. I was being unreasonable/selfish for not laying aside my interests and thinking of the childrens' best interests..., that her filing the D action was merely a reaction to our "relationship."

Yep, you're the Monster now as she begins to take up residence in her own figurative FantasyLand.

(b/c, of course, people stay friends all the time even after D)

I also asked her if she really thought I would (a) go on vacation with her and (b) stay at her parents. All she said in response was that her parents had been "gracious" enough to offer to let us stay at their place. Huh?

Evasive, non-sequitur, dodging "dialog" begins.

Aside from all your many other attributes and strengths, you've had a lot of roller coaster-riding experience. Hang on, buddy and you'll get through it all fine.
