"Ok. Thought I'd let you know, I told OW that I'm really not into a relationship at this time. I told her that there are way too many things going on in my life, and I really don't have the time or energy to have a girlfriend right now. Between me and you, and I know you've gave me this advice, I need a clear head, or as clear as possible, to really figure out how I'm gonna repair, and to what state, my relationship with you, and all 4 kids. Having 'another' relationship takes away from that. Obviously."
... would have been the perfect time for: "Looks like we both have some big decisions to make."
Ugh! Why do I only think of the GOOD comebacks a day later?? I can hardly ever think on my feet, especially when he's being nice. Omg. I go soft!!!
And you know what rubs me the wrong way about what he wrote? That a *married* man - who isn't even legally separated - seriously wrote: "I really don't have the time or energy to have a girlfriend right now."
I mean, it almost makes me laugh to read it, for some reason. Why? It's not funny. It's just ... *unspeakable*!
I know, I know, pointless, fruitless meanderings again ...
