Good morning, Frank. Always nice to hear from you.

It sure seems like you are doing a good job managing your 'teenager'. When she told you you were 'amazing' it's cool that you realized you needed to back down. She now sees how much you are capable of and needs to see how little she is capable of right now.


I am getting smarter, growing stronger, and I am hearing and seeing better in my sitch/R thanks to all of my work with my DB/DR brethren who, so tirelessly and lovingly, give of themselves. Thank you all.

The 'myspace' thing is so funny , so teeny like.


ABSO-freakin'-LUTELY!!!!! But then, when I feel like that I feel bad b/c I feel as though I am being judgemental and condescending. But then again, I would be thinking the same thing about ANY married adult spending time one such a childish 'hobby', not just my W.

Consider this: WHat kind of man (OM) would think he 'scored' a great woman who was married, had kids and was generally drinking too much? Answer: Loser.

He's a real piece of work. As I have seen on this board and in my own experience, they always are.


I already knew this. I am sure my W lied to OM about our sitch. I am also sure that he is neither blind nor stupid, just selfish and horny PLUS a player. I am pretty sure that my W did not get that my comment about 'badge bunnies' was actually directed at her and her wacky behavior and misguided attempt at having a R with that piece of sh*t AND putting that piece of sh*t and that piece of sh*t R ahead our our childrens' needs and well-being. More sh*t that she is going to need to sift thru, atone for and make amends for. She's making quite a workload for herself for later on down the road. I don't envy her when the dumptruck backs up and drops it's load on top of her. Yikes!!

I also believe that the reality of me not fading away put a downer of an impact on their whole R. I am quite certain that OM's other relationships with married 'badge bunnies' did not have a hopeful_husband in the picture to contend with. Awwww, I feel so bad about that. NOT. F him.

She's gonna crash.


I know. I am getting stronger and her resolve is getting weaker. I must continue to smile and wave and keep that stoic look and quiet demeanor at bay. My goal. To be the authentic me. Fun, strong, powerful, loving, caring, giving, accepting, patient, funny. I am. I will let that behavior/attitude shine through.

Quote:

Did you read that thread I sent you about my W's crash?


I did. WOW. Amazing. My problem is that I place these special powers to be an ICE PRINCESS on my W and that really keeps my hope for more changes in my sitch tempered. BUT, what I am slowly realizing is that neither she nor her attitude/behavior are unique, are they? It's all a pattern. Predictable. Only the time frame is different.

Thank you, my friend.
