Stuck in limbo III

[BL42]

Doug54,

I'm not trying to pat myself on the back but I'm increasingly confident I could thrive in the single dad role if and when the time comes.

Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. It's not easy at times but you can absolutely crush it as a single dad if needed.

I continue the trend from this summer of doing more with the kids than W.

Keep being the best dad you can be and you're kids will remember and appreciate it.

I blurted out, "So, are you getting an apartment, or what?"

Probably not the best DB'ing, but certainly understand the frustration - who knows, maybe it'll get W wondering.

She seemed a bit taken aback and said, "No, I don't have any plans" and then followed me back to the bedroom and said, "We have a family."

Interesting. But remember, believe her actions not her words.

LH, I can't help but again think about your wife coasting for a year before meeting OM2 through your daughter's friend. (How did you not beat that guy's @ss, by the way? You seem pretty alpha.)

Yeah...had to be tempting. If the laws weren't so "civilized" these days wonder if less BS would happen.

Also, W still apparently plans to follow through with the breast augmentation this winter, so I may have to make a decision with the joint checking account and my direct deposit.

Lol yeah fun bags is MLC 101 my ex got them 2 years before BD. Since it was half my money I asked for one in the divorce lol.

LH - Did you get compensated for them in the divorce?!? Seems like a no brainer if it happens not long before filing, but if the timeline is longer not sure how the law handles that.

I honestly think single parenting is easier. Your house your rules and you don’t have anyone over your shoulder micromanaging.

Not sure if I'd call it easier, but there are certainly pros.

I can’t stress enough that you will be fine either way. One thing I would suggest is that you don’t let her just slide back into the marriage if it comes to it. She’s either all in or all out.

^Yep
