Paul,<BR>Glad you followed your heart this time nobody deserves what you have delt with. I almost feel sorry for your ex she is one messed up lady. I wonder if maybe she needs a little sex ed on s.t.d. How sad that people screw there lives up so bad she has a long rough road ahead of her. Your a good man good things await you hang in there. with love flowerseed

Well Paul,<P>I guess that seals the deal. I am sorry for what you have had to go through and I am sorry that Amanda wasn't serious. Apparently, she wasn't. I don't foresee a very good life for her. <P>God Bless,<P>JL

Paul,<P>Now, now... she's probably so broken up about the divorce that she needed someone to keep her company. And the <B>really</B> sad comment is that this is probably exactly how her brain works.<P>I'm not surprised. I saw lots of words about how she didn't want the divorce, but nothing concrete about how she was going to prevent it from happening, or how she'd work to make the marriage better. I don't think that she's doing this to intentionally harm you---she has a problem, and she hasn't hit bottom yet---when she does, perhaps she'll get some help.<P>God bless. I'm glad that you w2re able to establish yourself as the residental parent. Even (especially) for the youngest. You're a good man, Paul.<P>Now stay away from women and romantic relationships for the next 6 months...<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

Dear Paul...<P>I know you know this a not a commentary about you but a sad one about Amanda.<P>Some women confuse sex and love and use sex as a way to feel 'worthy' when the end result ends up making them feel worthless.<P>I am sorry for your losses, Paul.. Truly. I know how hard you struggled and worked to save your marriage. But, Amanda is the real loser in this and I have a lot of sympathy for her. She reminds me of that old Steely Dan song where they say "the things you think important I can't understand" and that other line about not recognizing the diamonds (you) and their worth...it's early and my head is filled with today's "To Do" list, but you get my drift.<P>The whole thing is tragic, Paul, but you will emerge wiser and with your dignity intact.<P>God bless you, Paul...you are in my prayers.<P>Catnip =^^=
