Still here, still reading, still technically married, wow its been an incredible 3 years since my ordeal began. BTW I wouldn't change a thing... this is the greatest thing that has happened to me, boy I was living under a rock. There is an beautiful world out here, don't let anyone take away your shine. I found mine through tremendous hard work. Reading here on this site... you cannot put a price on this site, its invaluable!
Me... more friendly, nicer, more straight forward in a nice way, better boundries (no i dont give up on those boundries), in the best physical shape in my life, best finacial situation I have been in since I got married. Many opportunities for a relationship.. but I will wait to find the right person. It has to feel right, we have to click. Better relationship with my children, its beautiful.. as we get to know each other again.
My ex has had some reality checks and I got a full dose of her manipulation last night. I completed my taxes and my accountant suggested he take a look at filing married to see if we could save some money. I told him I didnt want to call my ex,(not interested in speaking with her), but I bit the bullet and did. She didn't answer, I left a message to please call me back. Three hours later she called, this is her way. Right off the bat I got Hi, how are you? Hows everything going? I don't give her an answer, I just get right into the convo. I explain that I may be able to save 3K dollars on my taxes if we file together, she said really? I said yes, if you could please consider calling my accountant and let him know your numbers.
She called him this morning, he ran the numbers and just called me to say that my wife owes the government over 3K and it wouldn't pay to file together. I now know why she was so willing to file together, unreal! She said to me on the phone as long as she doesnt have to pay, she will gladly file together... NOPE! not going to happen.
I am on vacation this week and love the fact that I can get so much done around the house. It really feels so good accomplishing things that have been put off way too long.
To anyone fighting through this personal pain, please know there is light and the end of the tunnel for you, you can do it. I thought life was over, NOT BY A LONG SHOT. You have wonderful accomplishments ahead of you, go for it.
