Wow, when you started off the description of how you looked, I WANTED TO GO WITH YOU!!!
Anyway, one big YES, BABY!!! to you.
Now, deep down inside, despite the fact that you really wanted to kick the )*&() out of those known therein as Dick, didn’t ya feel great!!!
Way to go - pour yourself a LARGE MARTINI, make mine with olives…and give yourself a toast. Your daughter and son think you are very cool which is the most important, your ex and dick, oh never mind, they don’t matter any more and your ex knows that, when you show up, things are going to go well with the kids which is absolutely awesome.
Perhaps one day I will share my “show 'em your best” story.
Cheers!
Way to go! You did the right thing, you made your kids happy, your ex is probably wondering if she made a mistake, and you made her boyfriend nervous and upset. I’d say that was a win all around.
I am so very happy for you!
::SMOOCH::
You rock!
You’ll find someone better. But I do feel your pain, no matter how much of a grand slam you had last night. My sense is that dickhead was very nervous etc…etc…because he knows you two still have chemistry. It’s a fundamental human sense, to know when two people have chemistry. It’s when people go against the grain and want to see the other side with no worry about emotion that everything get’s all F*cked up.
Congratulations! Yuor meetings for ever more should be slightly less nerve wracking…
YAY!
The only way this could have been made better would be if you wore a camera strapped to your head. QuicksilverCam. Yeah, baby!
I am proud of you, FWIW!
Quicksilver is My Hero. If you’re ever back in Toronto, my man, drop me a line. 
Thanks again all. Your encouragement is/was certainly of great help to me.
Yeah, Phlosphr, there was definitely some old chemistry… and it’s not just wishful thinking on my part. It’s hard to drop 15 years of history and insider information just like that. There’s no going back though. This year, as difficult as it’s been, has been a real eye opener for me. I’ve re-discovered a lot of things about myself that I gradually forgot or suppressed over the 15 years with my ex.
I don’t want to make it sound like my marriage was an entirely horrible experience and, despite the unfortunate ending, I’m far from being jaded on relationships or marriage in the least. In fact, I’ve actually recently become involved with someone who is very good to me and may just turn out to be a long term… well, we’ll see, no need to rush things…
But back to my original thought, I certainly see the silver lining in all of this. What I miss most is not being with my kids every day. Still, we have an awsome relationship and continue to be very close. I’m certainly their hero and they’ve told be so on many occassions. I don’t get to tuck them into bed every night but I do at least once a week when they sleep over and that’s always extra special and something we look forward to all week.
So that’s that… my little victory in the face of adversity.
Now you, Canadiangirl - dish your dirt! Let’s hear how you wrestled your demons and won. Inquiring minds want to know!
