House sold, got new one, family breaking up....

Teenage temper tantrums....perfect way to put it Sayitaintso! perfect. The lies from her and her counsel are crazy. Me too...3 years ago apparently I could do no wrong and was the greatest husband and dad on the planet. How can one fix a problem if they are not told there is one and to the contrary. I have learned to accept that the cake eater got caught and now am the bad guy. My ex also accused of hiding assets.....now revealed that she has....and lots....$50k worth.
Back to court Dec 13.
Take it easy pal.....like you say.....we know who we are and what the truth is.

Going on a first date tonight. (Ended things a couple weeks ago with the younger one...just too immature).
A little nervous for tonight. This one seems more my speed. Have known her through some friends and been in a few social events with her. Friends told me she liked me a lot .... Sounds so high school but kinda flattering), so I asked her out. She is professional, well educated, pretty, only 2 or 3 years younger than me, great job, articulate, quick wit, seems stabe....I hope. Lol. She has been divorced 5 years and went through what I went through, so I understand through the friends (who really don't like my ex anymore). She has 2 sons, exact same age as my girls. She texted me yesterday that she is really looking forward to tonight?
Going out for dinner at nice restaurant....a little nervous I am....why? Was not nervous on the other dating I did in past year.

Sometimes it gets so lonely. Funny!, I felt alone in my marriage for a long time, now no kids half the time. Love the dog, but a lot of work and have to be here and it's just not the same kind of company.
Blew my knee out...needs surgery. Waaaaaaahhhhhhh......

[Takevowsserious]

Hi FM!

Sorry to hear you need surgery

We are going to have to crank up some really good tunes from the MLC jukebox for you

What should we start with? "Love Stinks"? Lol!!!

[FloydMan]

Oh I miss the jukebox TVS....Great tune by J Giles.

Maybe Zeppelin....Fool in the Rain. (I got stood up last week).


"Fool In The Rain"

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, it's all right.

And if you promised you'd love so completely
and you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby:
What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin here feeling blue
Yeah I'm blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around

The clock on the wall's moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
I've got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...

[Whiterose]

Oh noooooo your knee! Hope it can heal quickly.

How did the date go? I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to date although some companionship would be so nice.

[JuneReN]

Floydie!!!

Missed ya baby!

((( )))))

Ruby

[FloydMan]

Missed you too Ruby. Very much. ((((( )))))

[FloydMan]

Hey Whiterose....ya, I need the knee problem like a hole in the head. It won't be fixed until the new year so hobbling until then. Torn miniscus and acl. Believe it to not, I did it in the move at 2:00am in the summer and has gotten worse. Makes it more bitter. Oh well...surgeon says it can be fixed and healing after surgery will only be a couple weeks so that is cool.
Date was nice a couple weeks ago. I like her....more my age and head together. Has been through what I went through ... Hers was 4 years ago. She is a lady for sure. i would like to see her again. we have texted a bit but timing to go out again has been tight with our schedules with the kids. i had been seeing someone a bit for the last five or 6 months or so...nothing too serious and then she told me she loved me in the summer. Then i started to have feelings. got a little confusing. She is only 30 and a little aloof at times. Very attractive, but have been down that path and maybe a little self absorbed. It cooled off a bit the last 2 months and i was feeling a little controlled. I like her but it was a little frustrating. Had not seen her in 6 weeks and then she stood me up last week....I was peeved a little. I did not need that. She just asked me for coffee earlier tonight so we went and I thought she was gonna let me down but said she wants to continue. She is a little irresponsible and controlling ....always her terms...and I don't really need that right now. Been there. I like equity and less pretence. The attraction I have for her is shallow and maybe messing me up so gonna back off. I dated a bit right after separation last year and I really liked that lady. Used to work with her. She said she always liked me. We had some nice dates but I was going through hell at the time so I had to back off a bit and she totally understood. We kept in some contact to chat etc. I just wasn't ready. I reached out to her this summer when I felt more ready and now she is involved with someone. We connected a couple weeks ago and she is still seeing him but wants to keep in touch so we communicate as friends.
So, I would say to you definitely it is too early to date seriously so don't pressure yourself like I did....it is confusing. I am more ready now emotionally but logistically some challenges. Companionship is nice...it does get lonely like I have been feeling. Just protective with my heart right now. So maybe I have to deal with the loneliness for now until I can be myself with someone and be fair to them too.
If someone nice asks you out, take them up on it if you are comfortable and just have a nice time with no expectations. Just be honest with the person where you are at. Lonely nights are hard...I miss my kids when I don't have them. Get them tomorrow until Sunday night though so looking forward to that.
Ex-wife is still playing games. We are in for a battle the next few weeks for settlement and court looming in Dec. she sucked me into a BMW 6 weeks before she left and still wants more. The well is dry. Very selfish, bitter person she is. Weird.

[Whiterose]

I hope you can manage with your knee until the new year....just take care of it and yourself!!

I'm so glad you had a good experience with the lady a few weeks back. Maybe it's a good thing you're both busy? Makes sure you both can take it slow and become friends and then move forward? The 30 year old sounds, well, like she's 30. Some growing to do and I'm guessing you're not interested in raising her:).

My girlfriend is coming home in December and wants to make me an online profile on one of these sites.......she said I don't have to go out with anyone or just keep it casual but to put it up. I told her she can do it! Lol. We'll see when she gets here how I'm feeling.

H hasn't given me any money for the boys since the beginning of September and I'm working as many hours as I can to keep the bills paid. He's not paying his visa, it's calling me here, he's not paying that same friend the money he owes her when we bought her car last November (traded with his BIL for his diesel f350 that he's always wanted.....ridiculous that he's driving that thing in the city with no family or anything....uggggg) not sure what he's doing with his money but I'm hoping the judge, in dec, says to cough it up
