Yeah you guys are right but for her to send me a $3 bill when I pay her over $2k every month is asking for it.
This ATM machine is closed.

How frustrating! I overcompensate the opposite way. I pay for all of my kids' daycare since it is a weekly bill, even though part of the time they are there waiting for Dan to pick them up. I agree she is silly to pester you over $3. However getting caught up in tit-for-tat will just aggravate you even more...
I assure you, when things get legal and each of you have lawyers, and when things start to heat up and happen on the legal front, she's gonna go after your nuts if she thinks she can get em'! Pay her the 2 grand that you're supposed to, and ignore that other piddly crap. Their sense of entitlement is unfathomable. Get ready man, you're gonna be amazed at what she's gonna try and get from you. My advice...don't roll over...ever! Fight as hard as you can so that you can come out of this thing as well as you possibly can financially. That's your right. This crap is sickeningly adversarial. It just is.

LOL.
Wow. Over $3? That is ridiculously petty. May be better just to pay it and not say anything to her re: anything but D until your court date.
She sounds like a piece of work, Romeo. You definitely are better off than with someone like that!
Well well well...the boards are back online! What happened?
Hey thanks kat! I'm doing alright- so nice of you to ask!
So sometimes I have a lot on my mind but don't feel like writing about it or perhaps don't know how to articulate it in words so I don't even bother lol. Lately I feel like I'm coasting through life as if something's missing and I don't know what it is. I get invited to lots of social events but I don't go for no good reason. While most things I do throughout the day require effort, thinking and deliberate action I still feel like I'm just breathing to survive and watching my days and weeks in life go by without a real purpose.
It's not that I'm sad or depressed, I'm quite comfortable in my day to day life but I feel I need to be doing more. I just wonder if my life will feel fulfilling again. My married life felt complete, even if we did nothing on a weekend it never crossed my mind that my days were passing me by. Now I get antsy like I have to 'improve' my life but what that improvement is I don't know.
Just some random rambling.

Upon re-reading what I wrote...how was that for phylosophically deep?

Watch the Yes Man with Jim Carrey. I watched that last summer. It's a little over the top and pretty unrealistic. But the premise was sound, say yes when asked to do things or go places.
Of course, I kind of spent myself into oblivion and am now working on staying on a budget. But it really kept the walls from closing in on me.

Perfectly normal feelings and ramblings! We all go through those times, it's normal. Hey, you lost something very important to your life, it was so much of your identity and now life is different. After three years (which will be October 16) I still sometimes just feel lost. Life ain't bad it's just not what it was and not what you wanted. You'll bounce back!
