so this is going to become an ugly divorce battle???


It would not be what I want. We had already agreed upon child custody, and division of house hold goods with the mediator. Today was supposed to be about child and spousal support, but today is cancelled.
I am hoping, and told my lawyer, that I hope we can get back to the mediator next Thursday.

what are your thoughts about how to make this divorce less stressful for yourself & for the kids???


She has moved in with her parents, which will help the kids out tremendously because they will not have to feel the tension that was a part of us living together.

For me? I will have a home of happy children to see me when I have the kids, and an empty, quiet, clean, stress free house waiting for me when she has the kids at her parents house.

As far as making the D less stressful... all I want is to hold on to the bare minimums I feel that I can accept in a final agreement to protect against us having a Kandi/Ed scenerio post-divorce. I will not allow myself to become a visitor in my childrens lives.


Money is money. I will not be bitter or angry about that. Ohio has a support calculator. I will pay what it says I should pay. I have always felt that way.


I do not hate Angela. And I will not base my future happiness upon wanting to see her unhappy.


As an aside, I am hearing some pretty good lies that Angela fed OM to keep his sympathy. If I was everything that OM and Kandi think I am I would be wearing horns!

Tired_Dad,

You are wasting your time on Momto3boys. It is obvious that she does not give a damn about your side of the story. She magnify your old A, while minimizing (not even mentioning) your WW's current A. She claims that you use the children as pawns, without pointing out your WW’s failure as a mother. For goodness sake, your WW is trying to make her scumbag OM the father of your DD. Momto3boys gets on you for your WW’s arrest without taking into consideration your WW’s actions that led to it.

You don’t need people like Momto3boys in your life. From the beginning I believed that your WW was a hypocrite. Just like your WW, Momto3boys is also a hypocrite. One the one hand, Momto3boys bemoans her WH’s actions, on the other she condones or disregard your WW’s actions. One the one hand, she magnify your actions, on the other she ignores your WW's actions. She is not the type of people whose friendship you need.

During a divorce, one often finds out who their real friends are and those who are not. Momto3boys is not your friend. The sooner you accept this fact, the better off you’ll be.

If you were as bad as Angela says you are, I wonder why she continued living at home for almost a year, post D-Day.

committed

That was EXACLTLY, er EGG ZAK LEE, what I was thinking... it's one of the MANY risks. People are MURDERED over less, everyday. This stuff is SO serious... such a shame.

actually

I remember this very well

and it was our girl Believer who suspected there was an affair and she got lambasted on EN board for speaking out ... and it turned out that Believer's gut was correct ... and I never forgot that ... and now when Believer has some gut talk ... I tend to listen !!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My family and I were on vacation when that happened - right before we left, TD started a thread where he admitted defeat, stating his marriage was all but over, and that it was all his fault.

When I came back, d-day had happened and TD was getting bogged down in arguments on the EN board before moving here.

While I was away, I think, was when believer said she thought an affair was going on, and got blasted for it.

I have to admit that when I found out about TD's d-day, I wasn't all that surprised. I mean, I was surprised, but a lot of things about his sitch that didn't make sense before suddenly made sense.
