Sixty months of alimony checks…the 60th one due this past September 1. You can do the math and then add 20 months of separation. It’s been a while.

I don’t have it. The last check.

59 have come on time. The last one? He’s been promising it since I contacted him Sept 7.

What are the odds this is a game? My guess is 59 to 1. What is the reason? Significance. All this time later. I guess the last one slipping through your fingers is the hardest.

These types never change. Circumstances aren’t a factor. And it’s so damn amazing to me just how insignificant the cheating becomes in light of all the other shitty behavior.

The little day-to-day stuff…the tiniest tendrils of the root of a bad weed…continually reaching out for new ground, more…just always more. Thinking I had plucked up the damn thing - over and over, a different obstacle every time - just to have it leaf out once again…always just creeping under the surface.

I’m so glad this f’ing check is late.

Funny thing, I quit being broken when I quit letting people break me.

So glad you can see the full picture here and understand his type so well.

You are not insignificant.

The Ex is just a petty minded jerk.

Survived two affairs and brink of Divorce. Happily reconciled. 10 years out from Dday. Reconciliation takes two committed people to be successful.

Hey TSMF smile

It's the last string he can pull... a last connection... that last bit of 'power' that he thinks he has. Desperately grasping on to it like a bankrupt miser with his last dollar, sad and broken and pitiful.

He is who he is, and doesn't want to change. It would almost be... laughable if it weren't real. A reminder to be confident with the decisions you made to move forward and seek out your peace and balance and wellbeing. smile

Hope is never lost. It exists within you - it is real. It is not a force in and of itself - it is something that you create with every thought, action, and choice you make. It is a gift that you create for yourself.

Hi All!

So…last Friday I just cut the BS "civility". Essentially told him it was just all more of the same and that I was proceeding with my next steps. And - as an aside - wow, can that man still toss a word salad! 😂. It was like watching a movie for the thousandth time…were you’re mouthing the lines. As strange as it may sound that part was AWESOME!

Guess what comes today….overnighted!

Tell me how you’re a dried up clique while I’m a badass without telling me, well you know how it goes. 🤩

The karmas bus comes in strange ways because the whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable. What?? Yes, really. Really.

Omg, Dude…you lost. You lost SO MUCH. Over and over…for years. You just…lost.

How did I ever think it was me that was the loser?? In so many ways. For not being enough (or too much depending on the topic), me that was the loser for "reconciling", then for divorcing. Me that was losing hopes and dreams, me that was losing memories and past time.

It was never me.

I couldn’t even now list the many ways that was true. It’s not any more true now than it was then…it’s merely evident.

He sees nothing true.
I see everything true.

And really, that never changed either.

~~~~~

kiwi - no change in the house situation…but I feel the energy shifting all the time. Something is brewing…just not sure yet how it will manifest. smile

Ser- so good to see you!!!! I hope you are most well. ❤️

while I’m a badass

Nope.
You're wrong.
It's spelled a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e badass.
And there's a difference. wink

(Nice to see you too TSMF!)
