Hey all,

Just wanted to check in. I haven't been by the board much lately. Honestly, I feel for your stories and it brings me pain to see a lot of you in pain. I have just been living the single life. Had my heart broken (what's left of it) again by putting myself into a dumb situation, but besides that things are ok. Since buying the house from my XW it took a large jump in value because the realstate market did. That was a good choice. I mainly hang out with friends now and I do date some, but haven't met anyone great yet. I still have bad days, but now they are few and far between. My XW has emailed me only about getting a couple misc. things and she ALWAYS WRITES IN CAPS! i can't remember if I mentioned this here, but she sent an email to a friend that was also addressed to OM. It basically was her telling him how glad she is she met him, how much she loves him etc. BS IMO:rolleyes: A total stab at me because she knew my friend would tell me. I think she is still mad about my message telling her that I want her out of my life. Oh well. Besides that, nothing new. Same job, same life really. just hanging in the best I can. I wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! There is light at the end of the tunnel wherever that may be. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Yes, we care.

I was hoping to hear you have a new job, making six figures that life was wonderful and .........like that.

It sounds like a normal post D life, at least you are not dead yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

You got any big plans for next year?

Good to hear from you Juke!

The Email thing is indicative of her lack of maturity. Hope you've found a new orthodontist.

Juke,

No lie , I was just going to post an alert for you. Sounds like the games are continuing. A mature person does not send things to friends knowing her ex will see them.

Best of luck in the coming new year.

still seeking - No six figures yet! LOL. I did make some good money in the stock market though. I have a lot more time for research now LOL. No big plans. My only plan is full recovery right now and I am getting closer. Sadly I will be dead someday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Binder - Nice to hear from you too! Happy TG!


Cymanca - Nice to hear I was in your thoughts today. Yes, that email was actually over a month ago. Stab me in the heart one more time baby! Ouch! Funny, she just called me to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving. She was all sweet to me. Wierd. Maybe things arent so rosey in cheatersville lately. Who knows? Hang in there. I wish you the best and happy holiday!

Juke -
Glad to hear from you. I was wondering what you were up to. You will find someone else, so don't worry, and take your time.
Your wife may still want to hook back up with you, but it might be another year. By that time, you might not want her anymore.
Please keep us posted.

Jukey, I've been thinkin' about you these last few days...

I'm glad it was a good investment, you keeping the house. I'm faced with the same decision. And nowadays, who knows what the future holds? But I'm doing my best.

Your dual-personality XW is some load of fun. I bet she does reach out to you again - no doubt it will be too late when she does, though I believe that may be the case already.

Anyway, it's good to hear from you; have a happy Thanksgiving.

believer - Hey. Yes, I feel the wife wanting to hook up creeping up now. Especially after the call today. It is good to know that she still thinks of me. I still think of her every damn day. We will see what her next move is. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work!

Gray!- That's funny because I tried to email you yesterday and it bounced back. I guess u have a new address. I spent all this time writing the thing and no dice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> Yeah the house was a great investment. I think I will make a lot when I sell. Yeah, she may reach out again. If she would whole-heartedly do it I could accept it, but this wishy-washy half-hearted stuff doesn't cut it. Thanks, I am glad to hear from u too. Have an awesome day tomorrow! Eat extra for me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

StandingTogether - Thank you! You have a great day too!

Well Juke, your email bounced because the sparrow stole that email account from under me and had it disabled. Sweet girl.

hey Juke...wondered what was goin' on with you; I've had similar experiences as u but no genuine attempts fm XW to reconcile. I too have went on an' am dating with good vibes.....vibes mind you not bells as in wedding....lol. There is life and sunshine after u get out of the haze. Matter of fact that's what I call my girlfriend "Sunshine"...and guess what that's how many of my friends know her. We all hear about the healing that is coming but we first have to survive.....I'm still in that mode myself trying to make good decisions these days after 2 years of bad ones. Hope Thanksgiving was good for ya' and hope Xmas is better....hang in there.

Don't think I ever did post to you, but I did follow your progress. Shaking head & still can't understand how anyone can deliberately plan to hurt people out of whats seems childish spite. We do enough out of stupidity.
Somehow I think nothing would disturb your X more then knowing you were happy, prosperous & doing so well thank you very much without her, especially if you had just had a holiday in Europe or something & turned up suntanned & sooo cool for your ortho appointment.
Funny how attractive someone is when you dont have them anymore & realise what you've lost.
Wonder how much is about pride and not willing to admit fault.
Anyway be happy and dont settle for anything less than 100% from any partner. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
