I was just reading the sitch. I'm sorry your going thru all this. But, dont give up...I understand that these dont usually work out the way they thought. Simply put..."The grass is greener on the other side, Till you realize you got mow that one too!" Thats some Texas wisdom...make sense??
You have to be the calm the one that when the OW and him start having issues. They will! That he can come back too...you have to hide your anger from your Son. You must put on a face for him. You do not want to make him feel trapped and dont want him going to his Dads telling him how bad your doing and angry you are. Right???
Easier said than done, I know. But, its the only way right now. I'm praying for you honey!

The other day i emailed h and asked him the best place to sell my SUV and how much i should sell it for, because it uses to much gas. I told h the kind of repacement SUV that i want to get. H was always really great at selling and buying us used cars. Now i think i shouldn't have asked his help this probably is not good DB. Any input anyone? i think ill put it on craigslist or Autotrader.
I think you are fine, men LOVE to be asked their opinions. After this quest, though, I'd back off and watch what happens. This is advice Michele frequently gave me.
Here is my first 'official' thread that shows. I don't know about the mechanics waybackwhen. I first posted in Jan 2001, but that doesn't show. Board issues were so different then.
This is for YOU. Don't exactly rememeber why I posted it, but I do remember reading a lot of Rumi. I hope it's useful to you, either way it's sent with love. You are a wonderful person, and a special DBer near to my 'anniversary'.

Im having trouble sleeping for the last month. can anyone recommend natural remedy for this. I woke up at 4am this morning. Yesterday my h sent the plumber his friend over to repair my heat. I dont like the idea of h friend coming in my house. he is suppose to come back tomorrow to fix it but i texted guy and told him not to come. I got another strange call from my h old friend from 17 yrs ago on my home phone. I saw his name on the caller ID but he left no message. This guy lives by my h now and probably sees h with ow all of the time. it almost seems like h is telling these single men to call me to ease his conscience. This is so crazy. H is planning a trip with ow I and it makes me sad.
Thanks for the natural sleep suggestion. I have been listening to tony robbins cds, and he was mentioning the breathing exercises also . This ow is outgoing, and charismatic. I can't compete with that part of her, that's not me. But she is not as attractive as i am, She is also short and i'm tall. I guess he wanted something different from what i am. I feel that h and i having gotten further apart. When i spoke to Laurie 2 mos ago she thought i should continue some contact with h. Because h always answered his phone when i called even if he knew i was angry and he would talk to me. but i stopped calling him totally the past 2mos. it was just to painful. Now i feel he is totally gone emotionally to ow. He hardly calls my son anymore either.
