PS - Thanks for the condolences on my Dawgs. They suck. They are 33 point underdogs this week at Cal. Not much hope for win #1 I'm afraid. I'm also bummed the Beavers got whacked. I was pulling for them to make it to the Rose Bowl.
The Beavers are not out yet. If USC loses to UCLA the Beavers still go to the Rose Bowl. However, who wants to see the Beavers lose to Penn State again?
You gotta wonder about the pep talk given the Dawgs before the game at Cal.
Honestly.. I don't know why I keeping chewing that bone, flogging the dead horse, about giving the wayward spouse a chance to come back. I haven't totally let go yet.
Thanks for the breakdown on her behavior.. it helps me learn.
Normally I would express sympathy for the D being finalized, but for you I give congratulations. It is too bad for your XW and your children that she didn't have enough maturity and character to work with you on your M when it was still possible. But I continue to be impressed with your strength and integrity through this whole process.
There are successes here and there ;-) ... but I agree, with everything she has done and the complete lack of effort on her part to do otherwise - you are wise not to waver.
I bet you will have a great future and your kids have a great father. As for your XW - she will have to lie in the bed she has made for herself. It is sad, but I do not feel sad for her.

I am sad too, gForce, but I don't feel sad for her. I do have pity for her, however.
Hey, Kerry. I was thinking you said you had to pay "$600 a month b/c of the difference in your incomes?" I would think that is a light sum compared to her income being zero - as she tried to claim.
I pay $500 for one, so you've actually got a good deal, but the other things add up, I suppose.
Anyway, have a good night, my friend and hopefully, she'll put her name on the line quickly and not drag it out on you.
Thanks, Kathleen, Peter, Rob, John, Mike and lwb. It means a lot to have the support of all on this board. I sure took some 2x4's early on.
Rob - The reason for the $600 a month for both is that I have 50% custody time. Also, I pay $400 a month of day care so that subtracts some on the calculation.
Just catching up on your story. I'm always amazed when someone is given the, "could I have a second chance?", question and turns it down flat. It's not an indictment of you; it's just foreign to me. But what else can you say when your STBXW has vacillated before and is presently living with some other guy? Not much to say except no. It hurts a bit I'd guess to have to say that.
Glad your life is otherwise well adjusted. Nice to hear. I'm glad you got the chance to discover that life doesn't have to end on account of all of this.
