Vapo...yes I know...the friendzone stinks. The hardest part is that we've always been friends, but now that is coming to an end. At least as far as I can see. I am either an all or nothing kind of guy with regards to relationships ending. There is no way I could be OK with just being friends and watching her develop another relationship with an OM.
j20a00g...what I was saying is that I will not Badmouth her to my children. I will never tell my kids that the D was my idea, but I will not tell them that she is a bad human being, no matter how much she hurts me. That would only hurt my kids.
msp710...I can't begin to give you advice, because I have and probably am doing it all wrong. I have begun to detach, but it is hard to do. I still care about her too much and I am probably still too curious as to who she is with and where she is. I don't ask her, but my kids to let me know. I hope and pray that you are able to stay strong for your kids.
ForeverYoung...the long-term thinking is difficult. I try to first think about what "I" want to be in 1, 5, 10, + years, but without fail, the thought that she might not be involved creeps in. She is saying that the D papers should be delivered to me (served) this week, and that she is moving out this coming weekend. Talk about a kick in the ba!!$. I am trying to stay strong this week for myself and my kids.
