Way Too Late Pt 3

[1313]

Sorry hit submit before I was done.

Its the same with you. An OP that interferes with a marriage is scum. They are selfish and only care about themselves. They have no concern for the WS but rather want what they can do for them. So while they feel great about it right now our WW will have a point when they see OP for who they truly are. Then they will want a spouse who only truly wants to make them happy and share a love. The question is will we still be there at that time. My answer is quickly becoming no. You have to decide your own answer. My best wishes to you friend.

Tim, not sure how I missed this - I saw the one previous.

I was thinking about this today actually. The morning started out weird as usual. The patent attorney sent a message asking if I'd had a chance to go over the response. He sent it last week and I didn't answer assuming the W would tell him I'm out of the picture.

So, I sent a very nice email saying that the W filed for divorce, and for a variety of reasons including financial, I will not be able to pursue the patent, and would turn it over to the W (it was really her baby anyway - even though it was my invention). I'd be happy to remove myself from the patent, please let me know what I need to do.

I thanked him for his years of service and consideration.

Send.

Then about mid morning the W CC's me her email to the L saying: L, I am not sure at this late date we can remove "H" and not is not my desire, I will call you and discuss the patent today.

I usually read my emails before I hit send, but that's neither here nor there.

So, why is she not letting me bow out? I won't be doing any presentations for the judges, I won't be doing any drawings, I won't be reading the responses (which I've done for the past decade) and sending my notes on what needs changing or modifying. I'm DONE. D. O. N. E. So done you can't even put a fork in it because it's @#$&* DONE that it's tough as leather.

Wouldn't you think that she'd want the whole ball of wax? If this patent goes through, Google will buy it. Dozens of internet companies infringe on it. That's why it's been such a battle. She'd be rich. Richie Rich rich.

So why not let me go?

Which gets me back to what you mention in a very roundabout way.

When I first came here I was asking, wanting to do anything I could to reconcile. While I still would, I'm painfully aware that the W has as much work to do - and more. Lots more. I'm not a pathological liar. I'm not the one having an affair. I'm not the one who spent thousands and thousands taking extra time to meet the OM in Italy. I'm not the one who perjured myself in court documents telling those bald faced lies about me, about being afraid, about mental anguish and torture, about mistreating and over medicating the dog.

No, I made mistakes. I did wrong things. However, I set about to change everything she b*tched about. And some she didn't. I stopped drinking. I was on track and had a date set for my real estate test.

Yeah, the WW has a LOT of things that she'd need to take care of before I'd ever consider the potential of our R becoming whole.

I'm not at all sure - even in the best of circumstances she'd be able to face up to any of that. 2-1/2 weeks ago when it looked like she was actually stopping proceedings that fluttered into my brain. But now it's sprouted.

I have a feeling the vacation she took with the OM was dreamy and wonderful, which is why she seemed to have doubled down the D with the cleaning out the garage and come and get your sh* or it's getting thrown out. But at some point, it's going to hit her. I know this guy is a jerk, I've seen him grab the a$$es of women. He's a first class creep. And probably everything the WW wants as he couldn't be more opposite to me.

Enjoy it you - whatever you are. I don't know what she's trying to pull with the patent, but it's got to be something shady. Maybe she's afraid she's getting stuck with the bill if it's all hers. Well, she is. It's just as easy to say "stop", the government will hand it to the powers that have been trying to stop us all these years (a story by itself - the corruption is incredible) and pay the L what we owe him.

I'm never going back to Virginia again - at least not for the patent. She should sign Mr Wonderful onto it, and have a nice trip back to see the cherry blossoms. Oh, that's right - they only call you back there in August or January.
