Thanks kily and litch for the birthday wishes. I suppose it is a bit of a coincidence that W chose to write of all days on my birthday, but regardless of that, I'm sure she at least knows that today's the day. Perhaps she wanted to see if I'd ask her why she didn't wish me a happy birthday (I didn't acknowledge in my reply to her). But it's cool, if she just felt the need to reach out to me today, that's fine -- I'll take the fogspeak. Plus, birthday wishes from you all mean a lot too, so thank you!

Hahah whippit, you even got the number of BOOPs right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> This is true, I think she was just dragging her feet, or having trouble finding a good rate, since she has no previous driving or insurance record in this country on her own policy. It's going to cost her quite a bit to be insured.

Man, you all so CRAZY! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

W did write back since I changed the meeting time on Monday a bit just to say:

--

Thanks anytime is fine. I can take my lunch whenever.

Thank you again.

Impersonal as always, no birthday mention still. Oh well. Maybe she did forget. Regardless I guess it doesn't matter in the big picture anyway.

Yeah, I suppose so, I guess I just would have rather not heard from her at all today rather than hear for her and have her so deliberately ignore it.

Yet again, it seems like she knows how to hurt the most all the time. But I really have to try and not let it bother me and just move past it.

No driving for me, just dinner out with a friend, it was fun! Now I'm home with just me and my thoughts on the last few hours of my 30th.

I'm thankful for all the family and friends I have, I have a really great bunch of people that care for me and that's really all anyone can hope for. I've learned that's the most important thing in life really, is the people whose lives touch us and whose lives we in turn touch back.

Sure, I am sad I wasn't able to spend this birthday with W as I've spent my last few. I'm disappointed that she even wrote me twice today and didn't even acknowledge it. But I guess I understand, too, she doesn't feel obligated or see a reason to anymore, anyway. I hope that perhaps I won't have to spend my next birthday, or at least the one after THAT, without someone to love. I do miss having a special someone in my life.

Thanks for all your good wishes and humor today, I appreciate it. Guess there won't be anything new to report until Monday now. I must admit I am a little worried that it wasn't the car insurance, but perhaps some immigration document that W is waiting to receive (and pressure me into signing) that's making her delay our meeting. I could be totally wrong, but I guess I'll find out on Monday.

Thought I'd share this thread with you all. In it, they are starting to discuss just why adultery seems to be more and more common and also treated with less severity by the masses these days:

http://www.marriagebuilders.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=34;t=009330

Looks to be some very good points being made here. Perhaps some of you wise ones may even want to add some.

Man, why I am so bummed out today?

I find myself questioning everything, wondering what I did wrong and what I could have done to not be where I am today -- I just feel like I deserved another chance, took all the steps, and that my W should have at least given this a try at some point. I'm not sure what's wrong or what I did wrong, I know I should be feeling better and feeling like I did all I could, but maybe I didn't, because I'm feeling rotten today!

I hope this passes, I suppose like all the other times it's just a bad day, but it just seems like there are so many folks here who have tried this stuff and at least had their spouses try or look back at some point...Here I am close to 8 months since D-Day, and she hasn't given me an ounce of hope...She's completely turned her back on me and the marriage since D-Day and hasn't looked back once. I guess I'm just bummed that I ended up with a W who, despite my best efforts to Plan A, Plan B, and everything else, never even gave me a sign of trying.

How can someone that I loved and that loved me so much to marry me 2 years ago be able to just turn her back on it all so easily? It just makes me sad how it all turned out.

I know it's a gloomy message from me...But I guess it's a gloomy day. Just how I feel today.

ALS.... sorry to have missed the party yesterday. Was gone from 5:20 am til about 9:30 pm.... a very long day!

May you have many more journeys around the sun to share life, love and laughter with those who know and love you. And may you always be blessed with the gifts of beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence for years to come.

Brightest (Belated) Birthday Blessings!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

That's fine, Cerri, I knew you were away yesterday and that's totally understandable.

Thanks for the belated and very eloquent birthday wishes. Much appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Cerri-

I think TMCM took the rest home with him. He found out that the frosting is an excellent moisturizer! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

ALS-
I was feeling this way yesterday. Just peep at my post and you'll see what I mean. It's a normal part of your recovery. Just realize while your feeling this way that it will pass. I'm much better today.

I also think it's a delayed reaction from your birthday combined with the hope of seeing her today. With the letdown on your b-day and the let down today, I can see why you're blue. Also, I think you are lonely and the birthday thing just highlighted the "aloneness" feeling....

Try and remember that we all care.
