What a weird day this was.<P>I was in the local Mailboxes, etc. overnighting a package and as I was waiting for my receipt to print out a guy walks up and pays for something and leaves. I'm about 2 mins. behind him and notice him walking across the street to the apartment bldg where my x and her om live. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I see the guy getting into x's car. So I turned around and wnet back into the store and asked him what the guys name was and he told me. It was the om !!!<P>The guy was 2' away from me and I didn't really recognize him as I only glanced at him as I was paying. I've really only seen him 2-3 times and only once up close last July. I don't know what I would have done if I had recognized him. I'm not sure if he reconized me or not. He's seen me about the same amoumt of times or less. I sure my x doesn't have any pictures of me around.<P>I also called x and left a message on her machine as she hasn't paid me the second child support installment when she got paid last Thurs. She is going "out of town" tommorrow and will " probably" take the kids Wed so the support check will be a week late.<P>The other funny thing is they are going out of town to where his kids and grandkids live.<BR>So for a person fearing she is aging she is going to meet her grandkids I guess. I'm ROTFLMAO big time!!!!!!!!!<P>Then the good news. I've got a date!!!!!!!!<BR>Unfortunetely its not till March 11. I was shooting for this weekend but she has her kids this weekend and its a celebration weekend for her daughter's good grades and son's birthday. So now I have about 3 weeks to think about it!!!!!!<P>Now I can really use your prayers!!!! <P>Bob<P>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want!

Hey Bob,<P>Wow I hope I don't run into LRB...<P>You gotto love the fact that your wanting to be young X has grandkids...You had me LMAO..<P>Good luck on your date...<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

BOB!<P>I am shocked that you frequent those seedy establishments. What were you thinking. I certainly hope you took a shower after getting out of there.<P>Real life is so strange sometimes. I could bump into Brian [OM] with me holding a loaded AK 47 with hollow point bullets that could pierce a tank and not even know it. [not the tank part] Only saw him once through the kitchen door. I'm really sorry the way your marriage ended. That is if you are also sorry.<P>Hey, have a good time on the date. <P>Good to hear from you with the uplifting news. [date]<P>Take care, Bud.<P>Zip

zip,<P>I couldn't take any more rejection from here. She basically just wanted out of the marriage. She really gave me no chance to show her I have changed.<P>The first time we tried to reconcil, she was back with him in 5 hrs.<P>This time after he devastated her in front of her friends at work she took him back in a week.<P>Thats when I decided I had had enough. She was so far from the woman I loved, that i was no longer in love with her and I could see nothing attractive about her.<P>I'm beginning to think she was in an emotional affair with this guy early last year or even before that. I'm basing that on her pulling away from me and the kids. I think she tried a last ditch attempt in April last year when she took me to a hotel for the night and when things didn't work out how she planned , thats when the affair started in earnest. She slept with him in mid May of last year. I don't know what the average time a EA turns physical but it was awful fast if the EA began after our night out.<P>Take care. I've still lurking, bbut have had trouble keeping up with everybodies stories as things seem to be happening rapidly for everyone.<P>God Bless<P>Bob<P>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want!

In a way, I am fortunate since the OW lives 1200 miles away I do not have much chance in running into her, but he did bring her here a couple of weeks ago and I do have to say that I was a little nervous about running into them together....especially since that was the same week our divorce was final. <P>Date, huh??? Good for you, Bob, it is time. There has to be a point where we get on with our lives..there are many others out there that deserve to love and be loved just as we do!!<P>------------------<BR>Susan<P><BR>
