HAHAHAHA - yes, the dipsh@t part is certainly what I am seeing. To me a man with self-confidence and security in himself would not be trying to spend so much time with a woman and her child while she is still married. It's what I would do. But he is weak or heart and mind, so...

Very, very true.

More replay. More contact from her, as in increased from her. Happens every time I stop making an effort. Weekend texts - unheard of for a long time. Emails without much purpose. Hell, even a phone call today, which I did not take.

Just wanted to keep you all filled in as part of the story, got a mountain of grad work in front of me this week - most likely offline for a bit.

Hey - graduation paperwork arrived this weekend! 2.5 months and I am done. Gonna be so nice to spend unhindered time with my son. And with myself for that matter.
