sDCWman,

The phrase "cutting of your nose to spite your face." comes to mind when reading her post. I think you did well. I know it is not the reaction you wanted, but I also know you did not want to be the OM.

I think it is time to move on and let time and the excitement of your future take over. Who knows what will happen.

God Bless,

JL

Given the time period, she obviously exited the infatuation stage and ran into the "Now what" phase of a relationship.

And as when she was with you, she didn't have a very clear idea of what to do next. I suspect you dodged a serious situation.

Yes, I'm sure her life is full of peaches and cream and the dog with the white picket fence is just dandy as her and her new man have found "true" love.

Give it a few years. With a guy married twice? She cheated on you?

Lovely couple. I'm sure it will be falling apart in a few years.

You? Be strong. Learn from MB. Find a good woman nothing like your ex.

Have the family you always dreamed of.

She moved away with the kids April 08. I contested it and got a lot more time with my kids. She's unhappy that I want to stay involved in their lives and don't settle for being an "every other weekend" dad.

Never going to happen.
