Thanks guys! Just got home form a friends New Years Eve party. While I was there one of our friends wives was like "you have a ton of charisma" and "I am shocked that you have nto hooked up with someone yet".
Nice to get a vote of confidence sometimes. :)

Happy New Year all!

Thanks Zim! I am feeling ALLOT better than I was last week! I realized that this whole thing is 50% my fault and 50% hers.

I also took some of Geekbabe's advice (yes thats right Geekbabe...you were right...I said it...let the I told you so begin!:))

It is over, it doesnt matter why anymore, it doesnt matter if she has or doesnt have someone else, it doesnt matter if i have someone new or if either of us were happy or not, there is no going back and I need to move on and accept all this stuff and so does she...which i feel I am doing well now.

I know that some things will be tough, like when we go to mediation for the custody stuff, but thats to be expected!


No "I told you so's" from me,just a big hug,hope your New Year is a brighter one dude:)

Woohoo! Bought more stuff this morning, needed a microwave and a clock radio to get my butt out of bed each morning.
Also bought myself a spice rack ( like I am going to use that thing!) and some more ktichen stuff.

I added a link to my Word document with the stuff I have bought so far and the sutff I need...so if you see a good deal out there somewhere on something on my list, PM me with the info!

Hahahaha. That would have been even funnier if you had written that clearly, using correct capitalization, punctuation, and grammar.

SaigonK. You sound like you're doing well. I live in Maine as well, in a suburb just north of Portland. I'm sure you can figure out which fairly easily. ;) Good luck with the life change. You've got the right attitude.

Dude, You got more stuff than me and I've been living on my own for the past 12 years. I did move 2 years ago so that might be the reason.

Nah, you could have gotten it from Linen-N-Things for 320. It's 400 and they have/had a coupon for 20% off.
