I'm still amazed sometimes how stupid StBX must think I am... to try & pull what he does sometimes. I also keep thanking him for being himself.. as it just reaffirms I deserve so much more than who he is & what he can give in a relationship.
People do not change unless they want to. Unfortunatly for him he will probably never learn as is the case with most of us men. The good thing is it will no longer be your concern at the end of February. My one hope is that you both find common ground that both of you can live with and be civil with each other.
With having two kids in the mix you both will be seeing each other quite often in the future. My parents never learned how to do that and it always made birthdays and stuff uncomfortable.
Good luck Bridge I am glad you made a decission and it's what you want. As long you get to spend quality time with your D I am sure everything will work out on that end also.
