Just found out she already filed

[ImprovedRomeo]

Ok I gotta tell you that it is amazing how often I read the men on the DB forum thinking their Ws are dating! And being a woman and having plenty of female friends, most of us women are not spending our time thinking of the next man we can get....I hope some other females on the DB forum can second this.

NM, that's comforting but then what are your guys thinking about? I fail to see how our R was so bad that she had to leave all that we had behind and create this mess. Seriously, we had everything a family could ask for and then some. Financially we were doing great if not awesome and now it's completely screwed up...for me anyway, she actually gets a lot of money that she could never make on her own. Yeah bitterness...

And as for how you take care of your DD, EXCELLENT job, Romeo! It is so darn touching to read how you validate your DD when she asks for mommy, how you can brush her hair without tangles and you are letting her have cats and rearranged her room...you don't need to read a single dad book!

Aw, thanks NM. That means a lot, thank you!! I do my best...I know I have a lot to improve. Even when laying down next to DD waiting for her to fall asleep I drift into ruminating and I catch myself doing it. Or in the car if she's quiet and I'm feeling exhausted after work I drift into the ruminating thing again instead of acting perky and happy. But I am trying.

About meeting up to go camping, I highly recommend you go because every time (except once) that I have met on meetup without knowing someone, I had a lot of fun! So that is my testimonial to others. Hey, you can meet a new friend or 2!

Yeah, I think I'm going to go and see how it turns out. BTW, geez, I meant "boon-docking" not "bone-docking" LOL and I see a few other gramatical errors after re-reading- I need to proof-read my stuff more before hitting the submit button. Goodness.

CTH, thanks for the encouragement...yeah I'll force myself to get out and expand my social circle. I need that. As for imagining their lives being great without us it's hard not to imagine that or it makes no sense why they would leave a life where they had (could have had even more) everything imaginable. I just don't get it but I don't want to go down that path again trying to figure out her reasons/issues. I just need to keep on...keeping on...
