Thanks 411!

You're right. And he's so close to bottom now the scent of the rocks is wafting up into his nostrils.

He'd better watch out. He's edging closer to the Bog of Eternal Stench. I would hate to see him stink forever!

That's a pretty rough schedule! I agree about the meds. I'd rather take them, too, if I were in your shoes.

I agree. I think jail would definitely be a reality check for him. It's so funny...we were always worried about DS25 and what was in store for him after he had to go to jail for that prank and DS21 because he lived in a part of town rife with gangs. Well, they've both come out smelling like roses and their dad is the one who's gone the way of the outlaw! The irony kills me!

I'm trying to keep up the good work. Okay so far, I guess. I had a bad moment earlier but managed to ride it out. Just thinkin' 'bout the crappy way he has been treating me since June (I know, I let him do it, shame on me!) and then he has the gall to be mad?

Geez!

Good thing I don't throw things around like my sister used to. There wouldn't be anything to inventory!

What the heck now?

He changed his status in my gmail. Now it is showing him available for chat.

Go figure. Chicken-livered, game-playing so and so!

He ignores me and then does crap like that. Well, he should have learned by now...he ignores me at his peril!

Hey Charlotte!

Well, at least you know that he's following the WS handbook... so you pretty much know what to expect.

I'm sure that reality is starting to set in for him and the OW... it will take some time, but it will eventually end.

Stay strong and stay your course.... you WILL make it through this time.

Semper Fi,

RIF

PS - I'll be outside the wire for a while, but I'll check back later on this afternoon... hope you get some sleep tonight!

Thanks RIF!

I know I'll make it somehow! Luckily I haven't had any really bad crashes lately but I'm sure I will again. I just hope not too soon.

I don't know when I'll drop off...I'm still trying to get the launching area ready for the photog lady!

Take care,

Charlotte

It's just posturing the status changes in gmail chat. Mixed singals are the best way to keep some one attracted aside from telling them to go away <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You can't have any clue how many times I've seen that movie!!

Good insight, 411.

Mr. Gray has no idea of the backup our sweet Charlotte has in HER corner.

Thanks Bellevue!

I don't know what I'd do without all of you in my corner. I think I'd be a basket case!

Thanks 411!

He's going to be posturing to himself after he gets the PBL!

He had me going, though. I typed a rant to my sister around 2am or so.

She writes back, "Don't let him get to you!"

I'm trying, ya'll, I'm trying!!

Isn't it GREAT! And David Bowie as the Goblin King....Wooooo! His clothes, that hair...perfect! They couldn't have picked a better Goblin King.

"I saw my Baby, crying hard as babe could cry...
What could I do?
My Baby's love had gone...
And left my Baby blue...Nobody knew:

What kind of magic spell to use...

(Slime and snails, or puppy dog's tails...thunder or lightning...)

And Baby said: -----------

Dance Magic Dance
Dance Magic Dance

Got that baby's spell on me!!

(etc. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )

Well, they came, they saw, we did not conquer.

As much as I tried to get his things in order it was to much of a disaster to get anything done today.

They took photos of the disaster, that was about it!

They were a really nice couple and she had to give me a hug.

So they called Mr. Mudd, I called my Doberman.

Now I'll be working more on Mr. Gray's disastrous mountain and packing away more memoribilia (every time I turn around, there's yet more!)

Then I'm going to take a break, go to Hobby Lobby for some wax and drop off the citation with my Doberman. He's going to take care of it.

Fun, fun and more fun! Anybody close by wanna come give me a hand with these radios?

It was so funny, the lady was like...you need to put this in storage so you can have room to live and move!

And I thought about that, too. But it would have to be climate controlled so the humidity wouldn't damage anything. We didn't have a place here before in this town that was climate controlled. I *think* we do now but I'll have to double check.

CHAR!!! **HUGS** glad your holdin up sweetie...BTW HAPPY PAGE 100!

I'm new here (well, been lurking on and off) and I just spent every spare minute in the last 4 days reading this entire thread.

Charlotte, I am cheering for you. Your husband is so lucky - I hope he comes out of the fog soon and wises up. As a former WS, all I can tell you is that he WILL wake up, and when he does, he will be eternally grateful to you for all the steps you have taken to keep your marriage home intact. You have provided a soft place for him to land so that he can get his life back in order - that makes you an amazing, rare, wonderful spouse. Keep holding your head high.

I don't have any advice, because I have all my own nonsense to work on, but you are in good hands here, and I will definitely be checking back in here to cheer you on!

Sorry to TJ. maggie, have you posted your story here yet. You sound like a great success story. If you do wish to ever share, drop by my thread on the recovery board.
Thanks.
(sorry about the TJ)

Thanks rocksolid, I'm only 3 months since NC, but my husband is amazing and I am working hard to be an amazing wife. I will stop by your thread and maybe get up the courage to share (this board is pretty rough, understandably, on WS) - maybe I can give people some hope that we CAN and DO come out of the fog!!!

Ok, sorry to TJ - GO GO GO CHARLOTTE!

maggiemagster,

The Board is rough on cheaters but very supportive to reformed cheaters who have come out of the fog. Welcome.

Hi SIHW!!!

I'm good! I'm really, really good!

Thanks for asking!!

Oh, and thanks for the congrats!

P.S.) Do I get a cake? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi maggiemaster!

Wow, 4 days!! I'd better warn my stepmom. I am directing her here to check out the MB principles and read my thread to find out everything that's happened since Exposure Explosion. I told her about some things but I know I left some stuff out!

Thank you so much for posting your support! It's this kind of thing that keeps me going when I'm ready to tell Mr. Gray to go roast.

If I give you his email, will you write to him for me? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again and take care!!

Charlotte

Well I finally made it home a little while ago. I was in such a good mood after I left my Doberman that I went shopping and bought something nice for myself. I went to Kohl's. I've never been there before.

My Doberman had several suggestions as to what to do about the suit. He said we could go to court and he'd stand up for me there or he could file an answer in absentia, or etc. He's going to mull it over for a couple of days and let me know.

He asked me if Mr. Gray was harassing me so he could take care of it if necessary. I said that I wish he would harass me, just a little. I told him he's harassing me by ignoring me.

I told him I'd sent the email today with the Saturday update and the pics to Mr. Gray. I told him that I'm surprised he hasn't gotten any phone calls from Mr. Mudd complaining that his client Mr. Gray is being harassed by his wife sending emails about the family and pics of their grandson!!!!

We got a good laugh out of that. But I was serious, too, when I said it. I am surprised and I hope it doesn't happen, but you never know! Of course it would make him look like an even bigger [censored], but what does his WS mind know?

We talked about some other things and then I left. And went shopping!!!
