The lock monster struck so I guess it's time to once again start over. Could someone be kind enough to link my previous thread? The title "This is the thread....." is short for "This is the thread where I get my ex-wife back". It's time to think confidently and hopefully and "act as if" it will happen.
I think I'll do a little timeline of events just to start this one off. I haven't done any background for months
Me: 37 years young Her: 39 years old Two kids of mine: S13, S11 Two kids of hers: D11, S8 (almost nine)
Early January--bomb (found out about EA on internet) Feb: Separation Valentines: Hug and kiss and maybe I made a mistake Later: I'll probably move back in a month or two Late March: I overdue GAL and detaching....she says that I've moved on anyway let's divorce. I tell her about this site. I change my name to La_e Late March/Early APril: She reads thread. Says I'm holding out false hope. I called an attorney April: Good month--things seem to be going well May: Divorced June: Friendship coming along nicely, but that's all
So that is a very short history. I actually don't have dates firmly in mind. It all seems like a crazy rollercoaster to me in retrospect. Occasionally getting closer then moving farther away. It's only been 5 months...bomb to D to post-D DBing.
Only thing new to post is that my ex-SIL wants to set me up. I am going to meet this mystery woman, but can't say that it's necessarily a smart idea.
Well along the lines of my closing theme from the previous thread I will post song lyrics. I caught this video on CMT as I was channel surfing last night. Clearly applicable to most of us. Blake Shelton, Goodbye time (this is a remake of an old Conway Twitty song). Have a good day everyone. TGIF (even though I have to work this weekend)

It's your life - you say you need a change Don't all the dreams we've seen come true mean anything You say it's different now and you keep staring at the door How can you walk away don't I matter anymore
If being free's worth what you leave behind And if it's too late for love to change your mind Then it's goodbye time
If we had known our love would come to this We could have saved our hearts the hurt of wasted years Well it's been fun - what else can I say If the feeling's gone words won't stop you anyway
If being free's worth what you leave behind And if it's too late for love to change your mind Then it's goodbye time
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
