Thank you for dropping in, Wonka. I can assure you that I do not make the things that I discuss here the "lead story" for my life when I talk to others....strangers in particular. there are a few close friends and co-workers that have been sounding boards for me, but I am not the guy wearing the "ask me about my ex-wife" button at the party.
As for score keeping, 25 talked me out of that a looooong time ago by saying "I assure you your W is keeping her own score...and you are not winning". That was enough for me. I think I just spouted off all of those things out of frustration. Looking back on my threads it is clear that I most certainly have issues....I don't want to add score-keeping to the list. Not that it is an excuse, I was just angry at the time when I was posting. As noted, I own the fact that I did all of those things....no one made me....I chose to (again, except for the tax stuff). And I chose to do them because I wanted her to see me in a better light - many of them I haven't even mentioned to her....most of them, actually. No, I did those things willingly - foolishly - but willingly and I own them.
