Live-In WAW X

[TripleJ]

Merrick, buddy, pal, o chum of mine, there's only one word to describe what your going through.......

UGH!

You have had one heck of a year my friend. But I can say that you have developed a strong resolve about yourself. You have taken some lumps and have come out shining by the grace of God.

I find it truly amazing how much my XW seems to "grasp at straws" in order to make her justify for what she is doing in the sitch. Day to day, I see no acceptance, see no remorse, nor any responsibility taken in what happened in our M. All i see is a finger pointed straight at me, and not just her finger, but her circle of friends too.

My XW too has 10 or so people that will back up whatever claim she has made. All i can do is sit there and smile, knowing that I am the one who holds the truth and the whole truth. These people have the unfortunate luxury to only know half the story, and if they did know the whole truth, well, can't say for sure the ramifications of that. But if these people, my so called mutual friends or ex family members, don't take the time to ask and verify, I say good riddance. Cause that is definitely not what friends do in my opinion.

Standing tall (well, maybe medium in our cases), and proud is what we have. I have made new friends, who tell me often that I have a good heart and it has a path that is equal to none. For that, I am grateful.

And the best part is.........I get a smile from my kids every time I see them. (and the I love yous and hugs/ kisses really help too).

I am a truly happy man, as I see that for you also. She's fishing big time my friend, just don't take the bait.
