FG, sorry you are where you are on your path right now my friend. You really don't deserve this.

That said though, it's good to hear things are amicable. Having a plan, like you do, seems like the key to keeping things together as you make it through this rough patch. Good for keeping your balance and i've no doubt it'll be much smoother in the future for you bud.

How are you planning on handling the talk with the kids? Are you and the W gameplanning it out, or kind of winging it? I know from talking to my W about this in the past, she had a very different view of how to express the news to our D.

On the ring thing, i bounce back and forth between chucking it in the river and just leaving it perpetually to rest in my dresser drawer. I don't think there's any chance i ever put that one back on though. It represents alot of good times, but also some extremely negative ones recently. I think any sort of R would require a new ring at least for myself. As of now, i'm not holding out alot of hope that's going to happen.

Hang in there brother. Know this [censored], but you'll get through it.
