Nope, but I was raised in Damn Yankee country, Western MA, and have been to Upstate NY a lot and Can-a-Da once.

In many ways just another simple farm-boy, wide-eyed and learnin as I go along. Ey-yut!

Lol, I remember this woman, who had like 5 kids from 5 different men, and eventually went to Framingham MA. Prison for women,telling me how I seemed like a country type of guy. ( It wasn't a compliment).

OH she had a hard life, and used to explain why she scammed the market for milk, by bringing back the almost empty gal, and saying it was bad.

She was caught selling pedigree dogs, with forged papers, along with her other welfare schemes. Of course the kids got to carry the blame too, as they got sucked into, "I sacrificed so much for you"

I dunno, but it seems she was listening to to much heart-breaking self-Frighteous bullcrap from somewhere, ya know, like everybody blames country music for, when emotions outweigh horse-sense.

Its funny that everybody either blames where they grew up, or makes a claim of how great they are, because they came from there.

Oh well, I guess they are just jealous. Its hard to be humble when your the best. MrRollieEyes

Aye gentleman. Ye are a good crop. While none of us would choose the circumstances which brought as all here, it's quite fortunate you all ended up here to make it through!

It's quite a diverse group, I'd say, with the three of us being on three different sides of the continent.

Hey mehr,

No NC letter this time around. The first one was forced (she didn't mean it) and the second one was only halfway meant and, regardless, OM didn't give a flip and kept right on talking.

I didn't bother this time because WW met the rest of my conditions (most importantly, speaking with OM's wife) and I wanted OM's last impression of us being me cussing him out, me talking to his wife, me sending letters to his parents and sister, me sending letters to his co-workers, and WW speaking to his wife.

She would send one if I wanted her to, but I just don't think he deserves hearing one more thing from either of us. He's past tense, if that makes any sense, and we're ready to move on.

I imagine some of the vets would disagree with my thinking, but I don't think a NC will matter one way or the other as far as me thinking that she is committed to the marriage.

Sounds like the right decision. Your "Take 3" sounds to be starting out correctly. She sounds like she has real commitment

Oops, looks like I forgot a few of us!

Haven't read CourtVeteran's thread, will take a look.

This morning wife said she wanted to look at getting a different wedding ring, asked if I was ok with that. She said she wanted a new start with it, and also wanted to show me that she was committed and not messing around with this. A good sign, I believe.

I forgot about plsnotagain! Took stones to hop that fence, but he never did really put the pressure on his wife.

I wonder how that turned out!

I've been on MB's for a little over a year now, and it's quite an interesting pattern. I'm glad you guys are finding fellowship through all of this, kind of like a graduating class from high school or college.

A group of us men came through together last year, many of us have earned our "diplomas" and are now hanging out on the "After Divorce" board. Not as much traffic over there, but it's a nicer place without so much drama.

Find comfort in that being a part of the MB's community and learning the concepts might not save your M, but it will definitely make you a better man and help speed you through recovery.
