Partners. I couldn't get a break if I stumbled over it.<P>If you remember my post about signs.?. Were everytime I try to move somewhere positive with my STBXW something happens, negatively. <P>Mam, Oh Man this is a kicker.<P>So Friday nite I have the papers with me as the wife, D and I are to go to dinner. after which we were to talk. It didn't happen. I ended up taking the D out and afterward we went to her appt. to pick up D's cloths for my weekend with her. I get there and we had the TALK. Start over, counsuling, etc.,etc., Absolutly no love busters. <P>She said she would think about it and let me know. The weekend went perfect. very pretty days, not a cloud in the sky all weekend. I take the kid to the zoo and get pictures (my daughter and I). So I figure I should go out and get a CamCorder because if the divorce does continue I will have a lot less time with my kid [censored] I have a travel job and I should have a vidio of her growing up. <P>Sunday comes. I take my D home and ask the wife what she thinks.. No Answer, I ask for a Thumbs Up/Thumbs down, anything that would tell me what's going on, or a direction. No answer. She said she would call me after the D went to sleep. <P>On the way home I get into a car accident. I in my big Ford truck tags a cherry red 2000 porche boxter. Pretty little thing. Black leather int. Fireball red ext. He ran a stop sign and I tagged him. The cops say it was his fault. So I'm cool with it. So far.<P>I called the wife around 9:15Pm to talk to the kid before she goes to bed and before I hang up I ask the wife if she was going to call and she said yes around 10:15 or so.<P>No phone call.<P>I CAN'T Get A BREAK..

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by AgoodManInTexas:<BR><B>No phone call.<P>I CAN'T Get A BREAK.. </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>That's not "yes" and it's not "no". It's "I'm not ready to say yes" and "I'm not ready to say no". <P>And what it means to <I>you</I> is that you've got to relax and let it go for right now. Because if you try to force an answer, it will likely be the one you <I>don't</I> want. <P>Attraction, not traction. I know it's tough...<P>

Think about this - this is a big decision. What's your hurry? Will the world end if you don't get the papers aren't given to her tomorrow?<P>If you keep pressuring her, she may make a decision you don't like just to get you out of her hair.<P>Keep hassling her and I bet you she says the divorce is on.

Ya know, I think God waited until the 8th day to hand out patience to us men! And by that time it had all run out....<P>And believe me when I tell you, it isn't just you! I have and continue to, pray for patience everyday. To some people it comes so naturally, but for some reason, we men have such a hard time with it. We always want things done/fixed/over right now.<P>Be patient - Don't push...<P>God Bless,<P>Mike

I understand what you are talking about. I don't want too push either. All I'm looking for is a leaning, a very, very small directional breeze. Something, Anything.. A Head Tilt would work for me.<P>I have been waiting soooooo long. <P>My bet is she has something so negative to tell me it will make me run away. Maybe even worse them telling me she had an PA. <P>
