Hi Trusting-
Just a quick note....MY C and I talked about men who make big decisions when you couldnt think of doing it ( meaning women )...She even had an example that after her mother died she was about 18 years old and in a matter of a few short months her father married and moved a women in the home...she was furious....Men can switch channels and make a new life like nothing....its so hard to fathom....

Grace,

Ex's mother was the same way. She left the family when ex was 12 and moved to palm beach and married a rich old guy until he died of cancer. After him she moved on to the next and next and next.....

I am the opposite. I marry for life and have difficulty being with anyone else, even after 3+ years. It just does not feel right to me. I still feel like I am cheating on my ex if I even date someone else.

Trusting - totally understand! Shoot I am having trouble even being interested in dating... So much time and energy involved smile.

Trusting,
I think some men are not able to live on their own very well, which may explain the 3-month thing with your FIL.

Now that I am away from that family, I see that all the "machoism" was really major insecurity in who they are and what they do.

Quite possibly. Things do become more clear as you sit and observe...

Hi Cagz,

Thanks for stopping by.
Well the kids informed me that ex has been very angry lately (what's new). He told the kids that he might try to get full custody of them since I am such a bad mother. He is upset because my 5 year-old will sleep with me on nights she gets afraid. He finds that inappropriate. It does not matter that he has been bedding a bimbo in front of the kids without nuptials. UNBELIEVABLE......

Trusting,
Sounds like all talk to me. All talk of a desperate man.
