Wife does not stay in the home, on my mornings she comes to get daughter off to school as i work early. Home has no real equity and is solely in my name, 401k is untouchable at the moment. insurance and cell phones are the only things with both our names, and i chose not to be jerk and boot her of my health plan. In my state filing is only $200, my lawyers retainer is $1500. Financially i "think" im safe but who knows, regarding kids im told their isnt alot i can do unless i prove her unfit in court. Just clarifying things regarding sitch.
I do have some questions regarding GALing. 1- With regards to going out and hanging out with not so close friends, how do i handle the "why isnt W here?"? Because we rarely socialized seperatly. 2- usually if i were to search out an activity with friends, id post to facebook "whos up for a movie? Etc.. But my wifes leaving and affair has not gone facebook public. So i feel id be inviting questions, to which answering is staying in the rut of the sitch. So how does one build new lives and friendships while still in a "semi-single" state? I use semi-single to define my current condition as im essentially single, but do to my personal values regarding marriage and love, i wont allow myself to act like a single man
Couple things....
What do you mean your 401k is untouchable at the moment?
You may want to look at checking your pride at the door. Your questions all directly point to you worrying most about what other people will think or say. Really? That's your concern? Dude, if someone asks be a man and either tell them the truth or tell them it's none of their effin business. Simple. If you do want to be more cordial: "w and I are going through a personal matter right now and I don't know how it's going to end. I appreciate your concern but, I would even appreciate more if we don't discuss it at this time."
