Tad's Overdue Update

[tadpole1025]

Thank you Snodderly. It IS time for me to man up.

I just thought that I would post a small update since I haven't posted in a while.

Last week, X and I got into a text conversation about "parenting time" with S17. Somehow, the subject got onto us. It wasn't angry, but she once again reminded me how she had "been unhappy for years", decided that she was "leaving way back in 2005", and that "we haven't been compatible since 1995", blah blah blah.

When I asked why she bought her wedding dress for our vow renewal even though she was "leaving", she said that she was living in "hope" for things to change.

She reminded me that I hurt her "to the core." When I asked her what it was that I supposedly did, she says: "you obviously haven't been listening. I've explained it 100 times and now it is pointless."

Says she loved me deeply, but doesn't now.

Also said that we don't have to be friends, but should be friendly. (I still have a hard time with that one.)

Anyways, I decided to take the new job offer and I started this week. I think I'm going to like it a lot.
