Starting Over,

Kind of funny. I just heard from my EX this week to. He was going on and on about all of the mistakes he's made. I do feel bad for him because he really did screw up his life. He wanted to make sure I was happy, I informed him I am. It's really to bad that this happens after the BS moves on. I won't go back to where I was again. I'm very happy with what I have now.

Sounds like there is trouble in paradise between her and the OM.

Here is the funny part...........EX kicked me out.......bought new furniture, changed all credit cards, accounts, car into her name, got a lawyer, drew up divorce decree, started seeing OM and bringing him around my kids.......didnt want to reconcile or go to counseling and divorced me ALL WITHIN 3mo. time.............yet "I" did not try. I basically begged her, called our sunday school teacher, deacons and Pastor to get her to come to her senses and make things work.....but "I" didnt try hard enough to keep us together.


I told her (EX) if things were going well with you and OM I would have never received this phone call. She knew I was right, because she didnt respond.

Im also very happy with my new life and wife, and would never, ever go back to where I was with HER. Ive seen the light and the difference a pleasant person can have in ones life. I basically told the EX to call if there is a problem or concern with the kids ONLY, but please to not bring up what.......WOULDA, COULDA, SHOULDA been.

On the other side, let's be thankful to our ex-WW's that they did all those things to us because otherwise we wouldn't have the lives that we have right now with truly loving, healthy and mature minded women like our wives.

I remember someone on these forums once said that the chinese character for danger or crisis also stood for opportunity, and it couldn't be more true than with your situation and mine.
