I cannot describe the rage in my body right now. I just finished talleying the bills from the last three months. Not pretty!!<P>I reallt hope R doesn't call in the next little while. I want to tell her how much money her self centered bull**** affair has cost us. AARRGGHH<P>Now I am going to have to borrow money to keep from going bankrupt. Before this we were debt free save our mortgage. Now I have to pay for two homes.<P>We were right on the brink of haveing a great lifestyle, and she totally sabotaged it. I can't believe how far she shoved her head up her a.. in one day. The day she "realised" that this <B>POS LRB</B> was worth more than all we were working for.<P>"But I love him" F-you you self serving B...h.<P>Ok I'm done I had to get that out. Thanks for letting me lose my religion again.<P>I feel better. Now to get past this resentment.<P>Thanks,<BR>Bill<P>"commit to the Lord what ever you do, and your plans will succeed" Proverbs16:3

She knows we're in a bad place financialy no point in rubbing it in.<P>I'll get it strait like I have always done.<P>Financial security is her # 2 <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi3300_needs.html" TARGET=_blank>Emotional Needs</A><P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

WJ-<P>This is tough stuff. It sucks.<P>Are you paying for her place to live? If you are, my qustion would be why?<P>It's perfectly normal to feel rage. It happens to all of us. What our spouses are doing, while in LALA Land, is absolutely incompreshensible.<P>Sorry you are having a rough time.<P>We're here for you.<P>Sending you prayers of peace.<P>God Bless,<P>Cheryl

Cheryl, Being in a flawless plan-a, I must meet as many <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi3300_needs.html" TARGET=_blank>Emotional Needs</A> as possible. Financial security is her #2. So I will continue selflessly meeting that need.<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

Bill,<P>Have you talked to Steve Harley yet? I would ask him about the financial thing. Maybe you should consider giving her whatever she would get if you guys were divorced, so she can see what little she would have to live on. I don't know if Steve would consider that a LB or a little dose of reality. Since Abbey is with you, maybe R would get nothing?? It only costs $85 - think about doing it even if you only can afford it once.<P>Sorry about the financial mess. My H has spent a good bit, too. It hasn't put us in a hole, but I hate the idea that he spends any money on her or to be with her. <P>When he left this second time, I requested separate checking accounts. I told him I felt like I was "participating" in his affair by having even one penny of any money I earned going towards it. It is not the money itself, but the idea that I would financially participate in something that is hurting me so much.<P>YUCK!!!!!

Bill,<P>You KNOW you aren't supposed to mix your drinks like that. Isn't that similar to "beer on whiskey, pretty risky"??<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>
