Tonight, W came home about 15 minutes earlier that usual. I was/am in the study, keeping up with the latest MB updates. She made it a point to poke her head in and say "Hi". <P>I'm really tired of this, either go all the way and try to make things work, or just leave me alone. We can speak if we happen to meet.<P>After stopping in the kitchen for a glass of wine, I went thru the dining room. She had her appraiser in today so I can finally re-fi the house to give her the money she needs to get out. I asked her "How'd it go? Was he suitably impressed?" She said that he didn't say much.<P>I'll tell you when I walked into this house at lunch time, I thought I was in a model home. It was as clean as <B>she</B> has ever made it. And she had all of the proper blinds open to let in all possible light and make it look as big and airy as it could. She can certainly work hard to get out of the marriage as fast as she can. 10 percent of that effort to stay in the marriage would have been more than enough.<P>Oh, well, I'm venting again. Just ignore me......<p>[This message has been edited by Heartpain (edited December 06, 1999).]

Hi Heartpain. <P>This part's really lousy, isn't it? I'm so sorry.<P>How much longer is she gonna be there? I forgot.<P>Hang in there.<P>Lori

Lori -- Well, the place we looked at yesterday* is available now. She wants to look at another complex and I hope she did today. I just don't care to ask anymore.<P>*What a putz I am!!! I actually went with her yesterday to look at these townhouses she was interested in. At first, I thought, "No problem!", but after we got there, I really got bummed out. It was my offer to go, but she really uses me when it's to her advantage. She could easily have said no.
