Quote: Calm down, Make no ASSumptions. There may be an explanation - or not. Why not just call him on his new number and ask him when he got his new phone? Done! I called and just asked him to please call me. I was calm and didn't scream or rant about anything. I simply stated that I would like to talk to him please.
As for the bigger picture - you're so nervous about giving him a chance, that you'd rather push him away now than risk being hurt. Why not make an agreement with yourself that you'll give this a specific amount of time - say 6 months - and see what he's managed to do in that time. If he's straightened out - great. If not - you can dump him in 6 months. Then at least you can tell you daughters you did your best. This idea I do like. I'll give him exactly 1 year of us being seperated and then I am done. So on December 12, 2006 if his act isn't straightened around and showing DRASTIC improvement I am throwing in the towel . . . for sure. But let me just say that if there isn't an EXTREMELY good reason for this lie . . . and if she is still out on the road with him. I am done NOW! It's total bull . . . and I'm not dealing with it. Either he's going to start being truthful now or I am walking away.
