Happy Birthday Beautiful!

Today you are 34. A long way from the 18yo single teen mom college student you were when we met.

You have become this amazing, confident beautiful woman. I am proud to be your husband. Not that you were not amazing and confident when you were an 18yo single teen mom. Your confidence, work ethic and extreme focus were there all along. They are yours and yours alone. No one gave them to you, no one guided you, no one pressured you. Your accomplishments are your own. Your Undergrad, MBA, CPA ...... all you. No one else. Your accomplishments to claim, celebrate and enjoy.

Those nagging little things that mask really big unrelated issues.

So, my Lovely Bride and I had a great weekend. Filled with our usual combination of relaxing reading, hand holding, intense passion and some out of the house activities. We ran to the beach to check out the big waves from Bill's passing.

Then there was THE fight. My perspective: I use too much toilet paper, I am inconsiderate and do not drip dry in the shower before stepping out to get a towel which gets the bath mat wet, I do not clean up after anyone but myself, etc......

???????????? You think I am kidding right? Nope, I am not kidding at all.

and the topic of conversation was, of course, BM!

So my MIL and FIL are in town for the month. They live in Fl. (BM and skids live about a hour from them) So they get to see them often. Well they stopped by last night, and we have not seen them in so long, but most of what was talked about was about BM. This happens all the time!

Summer's officially over :(

Hey guys. Hope you all are managing laterly. Ok, I've not been on here because, I've been blissfully happy because SD now 9 has been visiting dad's mom, and her mom during the summer. Although we wanted her to spend the time with her mom, her mom wasn't able to see her the WHOLE summer until the last two weeks of the summer -- when we were going to have her. WTF! You can't make time to see your child? Whatever...

Another fight, same problem...

I know I'm fairly new to this site but I really need to vent tonight...

My husband and I just had a HUGE fight over the same problem that we have fought over for the past 3 years of our relationship. He will "set boundaries" with BM and then go back and do the opposite because it's "for the kids". I am so tired of hearing, "for the kids" that I could just puke. The details aren't super important but I was wondering does anyone else have any suggestions on how to deal with going back on boundaries?

Guess not...

Well after my post ranting about being unhappy I finally had the talk with my husband yesterday. I told him I wanted a divorce because I was making us both miserable. He wasn't happy about it of course but didn't show too much. Then he got really upset and sad... I laid with him and told him that I was sorry. But I knew that wasn't good enough.

So. last night after a long and boring day at work I go home. My dh is talking to me and tells me that my sd9 stated that her mother stated "Mally only buys you toys to keep you there" SO WHAT HOE BAG. I am so furious she better not call in the next couple days cause I just might say somethings to her that are not for childrens ears, AND if she said that what else did she say to them like the fact that SS6 has been distant which is very UNLIKE him. I'll jedi mind trick her.

I know we have talked about this topic before on here, about a BM finding the SM here on ST, and reading posts to spy. Well that may be the case for me, so I just keep changing the name on my account, but I wonder why BM would waste that kind of time anyways, we never see eachother anymore, or have to speak or deal with eachother, but it seems that she is still interested in what we/ I are doing.
