Dude, are you posting beefcake shots for all the girls? Must be working for ya, though! Know any good photographers I could sit for? Just bustin' your onions, bro.
I just wanted to tell you good job on handling that little scare you had w/ your W. I don't think I could've pissed (sorry Jo, I mean urinate) on S4's furniture because I would have already wet myself. Anyway, you handled that sitch w/ real class and it shows you got a set of brass ones.
I'm sorry to hear about the impending D-Day. Just remember your own advice to everybody else here, It's Only A Piece Of Paper. I really like your analogy of rooting for the underdog (i.e. Us) and the 20% of couples that remarry following a D. I want to be part of that minority. I wonder why sometimes, but I do. (You and I both know why because we've talked about it)
Thanks for the WOA on my thread. I wasn't too torn up over things, but you're right, I can be hard on myself.
Quote: The woman continues to look like she's aging quickly. A mutual friend noted that she looks years older now. Why can't WASs see the truth about their decision?
I see the same things in my W. When coupled w/ her concerns about her age and the visible changes, makes me wonder what she gained from all of this.
As far as the gifts for Mother's Day, don't go overboard as bad as you want to. Remember, you can't buy the WAS's love. I was thinking of getting a flower arrangement from the K's to my W and letting them sign the card. I am planning to send a card with a note. No R stuff trust me. My W has been questioning herself as a mother and I am just going to write something that validates her as a mother with no other sentiments. No "Love, Bulldog". Just validating her and let her know she is appreciated and that I'm honoring her on that day. Do you have any other ideas? I don't know, a spa package is a great gesture, I'm just worried that you might be exposing yourself (no, not like that) too much.
Gabe, if you need a friendly ear to talk to as you get close to or past the D, email me at bulldogr@lamar.colostate.edu and we'll exchange contact info. I'll be glad to listen and I'll probably need the same support as my D is close at hand as well. I just don't know when.
