Thanks KML....an original. And always with good advice. I agree. Sorta interesting about the OP, but, I never had an issue with it. The only tough times were when she brought him to the ball field when S12 was playing. He knew his place and always kept at distance and moved even further away when X and I discussed how he did in the game.
It's funny how much you recalled from the original stuff...her craziness, etc. All past now.
To brobafet. Hang tough buddy. Each day gets better. You'll see that, as time goes by SOME marriages couldn't, shouldn't be saved. The thing that's good about being here is that, along the way, it helps you to decide which way. Just be careful that some posters will keep you in a bad M.
My D atty was amazing. At the end of my D, she asked me 'why do you want to save the marriage?' If I recall, my response was, "for the kids". Her response was, "that's the reason you WANT the divorce". Hanging for long periods of time in a destructive relationship hurts your children, BADLY. Once couples start going outside of the M, it is rare, if at all, it can be saved.
You'll be fine broba. 4 OM...is a lot. She did the right thing for both of you. FIB
