Hey JT!
Well, I don't know if the divorce will wake up your husband or not, it surely didn't wake mine <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ... it wasn't until xH accepted that he needed outside help and started IC that we finally started to move on ...
I can't seem to move past it and it is tearing me up inside. we have a wonderful family time and have taken vacations and trips with our kids, but it never seems to be enough.
I know ... for me is like I know he spends time with OC and from time to time I let him take DD to OC's house so they can spend some time together ... but there are times when I would want to do something together as a family but we can't because he has to visit OC ... and of course OW doesn't want OC spending time at my house ...
Somehow I think that I'm tolerating all this situation because of the thought of moving and because we are making plans for when we move ... and then my mind goes ahead of me and I can't help but think that I don't know if I would have the strength to deal with OW/OC if we were to stay here ... it is not OC that worries me, it is OW's actions <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
See, I still have not so good days ...
Why don't you believe that your H has NC with OW/OC?
how do you get to a place where you don't ask questions anymore? Or you don;t drive yourself crazy wondering. Believe it or not I am finding myself back at that place and I don;t like it!!!!
I don't know ... I try not to do that ... and most of the time I'm able to do it ... but then a trigger appears and I find myself questioning things too ...
How much of this have to do with trust ... what if we move and the same thing happens with another person ... what if one day he wakes up and decides that he wants to be with OW? What if he is not telling me the truth and he does have a relationship with OW?
Are we really going to move? He seems attached to OC ... and it breaks my heart that with the moving OC is going to loose his father and sister .... how much of this situation is mine to worry? Then I think, I will worry about me and my DD ... I can only control little things ... my things ... the other stuff is not mine to control, so why worry?
For the most part he's been really good and his words are matching his actions.
but I am not stopping the divorce because he has not met me even half way when it comes to DNA, Cs or anything dealing with OC.
I agree <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ... xH was waiting for OW to file for CS ... now he is waiting to see what happens with her situation ... but it is definitely something that I would like to see resolved before we leave so he can set legal visitation not as living close to OC but as living far from him. But again, he needs to be the one doing these things ...
He has missed all of the past year's holidays with OC and now even her 1st Birthday ( he was at home with us his family). It bothered me that it has been a year now and I feel like I am still struggling with this whole mess.
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I was just thinking the same the other day ... OC is now 13 months old ... last year at this time I was a real mess ... xH moved in after telling about OC and then moved out in a week ... my 'groups' of friends got a mob mentality and told me a lot of things that hurt me and I'm sure they would have not said under an individual circumstance ... there are things that still hurt ...
Anyway ... I'm planning DD's birthday (10/02) and I will invite OC to the Bday ... and wait to see if OW lets him go to the BDay ... DD is attached to OC ... it is amazing the bond they have ... she spends time with kids at day care ... she spends time with friend's kids but she is always mentioning OC ... and calling him ...
hey ... send me an email and we'll exchange pictures!
