Training for a Marathon, Hoping for a Sprint

[lookin4support]

So . . . I am meeting with attorney this week and giving him the details that we have agreed upon concerning finances, assets, and personal items. She is agreeable to me having an attorney and she is going to represent herself. The attorney is a long-time friend of mine that she respects and, as I said before, she trusts me, so we are going to work through it together. She understands that he can only explain things to her, not counsel her, and is fine with that.

We are both professionals. I have an MBA and she has a Master's in Management and works as Vice-President of an organization, and we both have the ability to set aside emotions when dealing with legal issues. I just see no point beating my head against a wall any longer. All it does is make your head sore.

Puppy Dog Tails used the term hell-bent and he is dead on. She said tonight she would like to come out of this as friends, then asked if my goal was to make her pay. I told her my goal was a fair settlement, which I thought we had worked out, and that I didn't see us being friends. Civil, yes, because we do still share a son, but not friends.

I appreciate the help and will continue to update as necessary. Looks like I am going to be moving to the next stage quicker than most. Damn, I must be gifted.

I did get out on my bike tonight. Ended up riding just over 29 miles in 2 hours and 5 minutes. According to my mileage log program I burned over 1900 calories on the ride. Gotta love that. My butt is kind of sore because all of my biking shorts were in the laundry so I wore plain old athletic shorts.

Goodnight all!
