Not much to say. Feeling good today. I bought a ticket for the kids concert Friday night. It's up to him what he does. He said he was coming - but I can't wait for him to ask me to buy him a ticket, and he shouldn't assume that I will buy him one.

Last year I bought him a magazine subscription - plan was to renew each year. Last time he had the kids I did ask him what he wanted to do - he didn't say much. Anyway he obviously hasn't done anything about it as another renewal turned up in the mail today. Too late anyway. I have purchased a gift from the kids - I'm probably being too nice but I got a block of his favourite chocolates (Toblerone) and a photo frame - I took the kids to the beach on Sunday and took some photos of them - and also drew in the sand "We love daddy" and photographed that. I'm trying to be the better person. He doesn't deserve it (I got a box of chocolates from each kid and that was it - at a time that he knew I was trying to lose weight - he wasn't even around for Mother's day as he went away to a 40th birthday overnight).

Good for you, Julz. You're right - he doesn't deserve it. But you're taking the high road. It's from the kids - right?
In a similar fashion, my W moved out on Mother's Day weekend. I went shopping with my S and got her something for her apartment from my S. Did I get anything for Father's Day? Nope - not from her anyway. I was, however, on the family vacation without my W, and to have my S wish me a Happy Father's day from the back seat was all I needed.
Yep. It's from and for the kids. They love there daddy very much. And I've always been one to ensure my gifts aren't boring (over the last year h has got massage vouchers, personalized plates for his car etc).

His loss? He got all that before he left. Obviously those things didn't tell him how much I loved him. I did that to show him how much I appreciate and live him. What did I get in return? My heart ripped out and stomped on.

Ahh thanks. Yeah the last year or so I really wanted to show him how much I appreciate him and love him so wanted to give him some gifts that weren't the usual. Valentines Day 2010 he got the massage vouchers, his birthday (July 2010) the personalised plates, then for our wedding anniversary I got some gourmet rocky road and a teddy bear with a great poem delivered to his work. This year for valentines day I cooked a 3 course meal to die for (he agreed it was great!). I thought I was being a loving and good wife. Him leaving really showed me how little he thought of me and how little the things I did for him were appreciated.
