Nothing of significance to report today, just felt like a brief check-in. It's been a full year now since we told the kids we were separating.
Sometimes this D feels like such a cliche. Lawyers send their kids to college due to false allegations in D cases. I've always known my W was extremely determined, and true to form she is not budging on any... single... thing. I tried so many alternative paths through, so I do not feel troubled in any way that things have come to this point. It seems really pointless and wasteful but I'll make it out alive.
I spend most of my time now thinking about the present and also what I want out of life going forward. Life smacked me in the face with a solid 2x4. Maybe my MR could have been saved had I taken steps to address my issues sooner... years sooner. Maybe that would have been enough to get us through a rough patch.
Doesn't matter... I'm pretty sure in this parallel universe, I am a happier person.
One side thing that happened recently: My W and I had agreed early on to keep mutual friends out of our D. She violated our agreement egregiously recently. The friends seem a little naive, but they essentially got involved on her behalf and it's hard to believe they would be gullible enough not to realize what was going on. I'm not angry, but I'm also left wondering if I want to keep that friendship or let it fade.
