I woke up worried. I realized you'd been missing for a long time.

I'm hoping you're just lurking away out there.

So, what's happening????

Hi GG,
Sorry I have not been posting lately, been mostly lurker-man.. The Mrs. and I are just trodding along except that she gave me blank separation papers to fill out last week. They were or what looked like a a series of general questions followed by some lines that you could enter in your ideas of what CS or division of materials should be.

Pretty much just hangin in there, working on debt solutions. Still following the 5 year plan. Unfortunatley, against what I know is better judgement, I am finding myself becoming emotionally attached to another.

Before I get slammed with the MB 2X4, I have taken steps to ensure I do not get physically involved with her. I WILL NOT break my promise I made years ago.

It is amazing how easy it is to get hooked on the newness of a relationship even though I KNOW the MB principles.

As far as the papers go: Ehhh I sort of have this who cares attitude..If she really thinks things are going to be all rosy without me fine... I did my best..and sometimes that is just not good enough. I am not getting any younger, but am still young enough to recover and start over.

One thing thathas changed is that she has been on disability since mid May, already asking not to go back to work... The doctors have not found anything...Nothing...Blood is OK, Thyroid OK, cholesteral in check, Passed stress tests.. They indicated it is in her head (depression). Yes she is medicated for that... Overwieght, she joined Weight watchers... They still have another doctor to look at her, some sort of specialist that deals with the electrical impulses of the heart.

Part of me is leary that this is a calculated move to get me supporting her fulltime, then divorce me and take me for all she can...Whatever...

I feel totally cynical lately. To top it off she has me renovating the bedrooms but is barely helping with anything... I don't mean to be a jerk about anything, but I am experiencing burnout.

Thanks for checking in on me, glad to know I have not been forgotten.

Hi, HO.

I’m sorry about your predicament. However, you sound a lot more peaceful now. It has to be a relief in some ways.

Keep me abreast of developments.

And make sure this attachment doesn’t lead to anything that could be used against you. That means phone calls, emails, chatting, etc.

I know. It stinks. But it stinks worse if you have to defend against this in court.

GG,
Yeah I am a bit more relaxed that I have come to terms with my situatuion. Not to worry about my friend, she is a good person to talk to, has a ton of bones in her closet, but I have not done anything that could ever be used against me in court. We have had 0 physical contact..and I plan on keeping it that way.. My promise to the good lord back in 98 has been kept and I dare not risk my soul for a fling no matter how bad my situation gets.

Thanks for checking up on me.. I really appreciate everyones opinions and circumstances, it has helped me immensly.
