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

Just musing. This is kind of a worrisome place to be. Do you realize that there is actually only eight of us that more or less routinely post?

Anyone I'm forgetting? I can forsee when eventually we'll all just drop off the board never to be seen again. Before that happens we should have a party. Everyone has to make it...even you Jo. Maybe we should recruit some more people. The other threads like separated and newcomer have hundreds of people.
BTW, I'm so confident of success that I'm moving over to piecing after this thread locks up. j/k

I will say one thing about this group; everyone here is VERY supportive especially to newbies. I notice in some of the other threads they are more like chat rooms and there are a lot of "insider" comments.
I suspect we will continue to drop in here for support, encouragement, insights, ideas, to vent, scream, etc, maybe not as much as now when we win our love back, but I think this group will lurk for some time.
I think there may be a bit of a geography problem.
