I haven't posted in many months for several reasons. My ex still reads my posts, which is the main one. I don't know why, but she does.

But I have some massive news to share!

Things went well for me. She's in for a shock.

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.

The irony is that I offered her more than what she ended up with because she was so sure she would win.

Waywards are so blinded by their own fantasy of entitlement for never-ending selfishness that they make stupid mistakes.

congratulations :MerryChristmas:

Wonderful news!
I was just looking for your thread yesterday, to ask for an update, and couldn't find it, so I'm thrilled to see your update!

May your good fortune continue, and may your wife continue to pay through her nose for her adultery, until she repents.

I am so sorry that it cost $100K to get to this point. I think that this money should be paid back to you or at least invested towards your kids future development.

I hope that WW is granted some sense of clarity as a result of this ruling.

I can almost hear her now.

"How dare he tell such lies about me! I WOULD NEVER sponge off of him! I don't want any of his money!"

"Of course I do NEED some of his money because my @*$&#@ lazy boyfriend won't do his JOB to support ME, but still!"

WOW!! That is SO GREAT, pom!!!

hug

Yeah, the WS's sense of entitlement is REALLY extreme!! I didn't realize how extreme until this past week with Mediation in my case.

Pardon me, I just have to steal a line (and modify it) from Star Wars: "Hmmmm....the sense of entitlement is STRONG with this one!"

hurray hurray hurray

CONGRATULATIONS, pom!!!

Pom,

This is just awesome for you and your kids. I'm so grateful that not only do you get more time with your kids, but you get financial relief and can finally move forward building back your life.

It just goes to show that patience, perserverance and faith can get you through it.

I've been reading your thread too, remember?

I'm a Star Wars fan so it's granted anyway...

Edit: Congrats, Pom! A lot of women (me included) find beards incredibly attractive! hurray

Things to work on for me: lose more weight and lower my blood pressure and cholesterol.

If you need me to formulate a healthy diet plan for you, just let me know. We've been working on this in Nutrition class for the last couple of weeks. I have a list of questions for potential clients for several different healthy menus to lower risk of diseases & health problems.

But that means no more extra cheese on that Whopper!! wink Heck, no Whoppers, period!

The joke is a reference to a comedy bit by Chris Rock. He was talking about the amount of CS someone use to get, which was quite a bit. Enough for it to be the yearly salary for many, but she was getting that per month.

The punchline was, "I guess she just needed some extra cheese on her whopper!"

So now I can get the extra cheese!

But you're right. Celery sticks for a while for me.

I've been running and that has done a bit to help me lose some weight, but I need to do more to bring down my BP. It's been dangerously high lately.

The kids and I have enjoyed sitting on the couch this weekend and playing 4 player games on the Xbox. It's been great.

I'm looking forward to springtime when I can take all four of them to a DC United game!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

The tide has really been turning in your favor. I don't see why you have to stay away NOW...

I mean, as long as you mind your words there's not much your XWW can do, right?

And we enjoy talking to you.

Yes and no. She has a nack for taking what I say here and presenting it to court people completely out of context.

So I then have to go and explain things.

Granted, none of my postings mattered for squat in the big scheme of things.

They can't, afterall, prove that it's really me posting this stuff and not my brother in California or the latest woman I'm dating.

This is a good message for all those who are on here and posting and have their exes trying to use their posts against them:

They have to prove it's really you. Which means that they would need to get admin logs from your work, your ISP, and MB. They would then have to match the IP addresses together and to each post. They would then have to prove that no IP spoofer was at play.

That's just the start.

So in the end you have to be a bit smart in how you handle things.

I'll give you an example: My ex's lawyer asked me under oath if I made disparaging remarks about him on this site. I've only ever refered to him here as Darth WHNACG.

So I simply turned the question around on him and asked him, "Could you please show me where your name is ever mentioned on any of my postings?"

That pretty much ended that line of questioning.

You have to outsmart the lawyers. When it's Darth WHNACG, it isn't too hard. But there's others out there that can be a bit sly.

You also have to know how to waste their time smartly. Darth WHNACG thought he had me in deposition when he asked me to please explain what Plan B was.

Well, I took the question and ran with it.

I rambled on and on and on about the MB principles, Plan A and it's definition, and then Plan B and it's definition.

I talked and talked and talked and pretty much kept talking. The more time I used to talk, the less time he had to ask questions.

It's a lovely technique I learned in the military. smile
