    I'm getting a divorce

    Since I'm the only one here, I'm gonna use this thread as therapy, until the Mods move or delete it, but, ya, I'm going to be moving out in February, and we are gonna live in the same Condo Association so my two teenage daughters can just walk to my place whenever they want. We are both miserable, and I can't wait to get this divorce over with. So, give me some positive energy my ratty friends, sleeping alone shouldn't be an adjustment, she sleeps on the couch now anyhow. It's gonna be weird though. I got married when I was 20 and am 37 now. I have two teenage daughters, and married my first girlfriend, my little head did the thinking. I grew up in a conservative Baptist home, so I couldn't date when I was a teenager. Not that anyone cares. This is more like a one person therapy session. At least the Packers are having a great year. Well, that's all for now. I'll respond to myself in a little while.

      Wow, that's got to be brutal. There's so much sadness and disappointment in that kind of situation. I'm glad that you both are able to think about what's in the interest of your daughters and that things work out for the best for all of you. I'll say a prayer.
      Hopefully the great Packers season so far will keep rolling like it (mostly!) has been and help keep your mind off your troubles a bit.

          Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. Yeah, we are both acting like best friends and have seen family members destroy their children by badmouthing each other to the kids. We have vowed to both work hard at doing what we have to so my daughters have it as easy as can be given the situation. Same rules at each house, no badmouthing each other, etc. Fritz, I might need a buddy to hang out with, and I know you're in the area. Will you be my friend?

            I have recently learned that letting the dog up on the bed isn't all that bad of a substitute...you'll get through it. The thing they say that research has shown is that the kids bounce back alright, but make sure not to let them see the fighting and tension. Since this is a therapy session, might I suggest counseling? It can sometimes do wonders...

                It's great that you two are both looking out for the best interests of the kids.
                Glad you have some nice rules set up to allow it to move forward as best it can.

                You'll get through it. Heck, maybe after getting through it you can follow in Tony Romo's footsteps and alternate with hot busty blondes
                TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                  LOL. NO. Thanks. Yeah, we are both commited to making this easy on the kids. We aren't even telling them until the holidays are over.

                    Re: I'm getting a divorce

                    I learned about what you're talking about trying to avoid when I was dating a girl whose parents were going through an ultra-bitter divorce and kept trying to manipulate her like mad. She got in a heated argument with her father (who'd been having an affair) and was actually locked out of the house by her Dad and had to go to a friend's down her street at 1 am to spend the night. She turned out just fine--she wound up getting a graduate degree in microbiology from Johns Hopkins and married a doctor--but I'm sure she still has a lot of scars. Good for both of you that you're trying to act like grownups.

                      We've been staying together for the kids for years, but now that the girls are old enough to see how deteriorated our relationship is, I think it's better for them to see us both apart and happy rather than together and miserable. And, financially, we are both fine seperately. Neither of us needs each other to support one another, which is going to make it so much easier.

                        So you've banned them from reading this board? :P

                          LOL. What's funny is they just got home from church and my daughter came up behind me and asked me to get off the computer when I was writing about them. Thank God she didn't look at what I was writing. They have read some of our posts and they think I am an idiot, yet, my youngest daughter does the same thing on a "Kid Nation" forum.

                            You might be surprised by their reaction.

                            Two people who can reach this decision, and can truly put their children first, may not be in as bad of a place as it seems...

                            In any case, my thoughts are with you... and your wife.

                              Thank you. Well, my kid wants to get on the computer, so i gotta go, I appreciate all you guys' support. I'm going to my room and take advantage of the NFL Ticket.
