I think your living situation is keeping the wound fresh. Yes, some part of you will always remember the hurt, but it will get better to a large degree. That process can't start until you actually get out from under the knife, though. Now that you have money, what's the plan for one or the other of you moving out?

If I were in that situation, I would be very torn. I wouldn't want to leave the kids by moving out. That would kill me. But I also wouldn't be able to stay.

I think what I would do is figure out some custody arrangements and get a nearby apartment. And probably a divorce.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do Flint. But I think that now that you have some money, you have some options. It sounds like she is the weak one who won't make a decision, so you have to.

(I don't know anything about your relationship, and whether this analogy applies at all, but I have seen this particular drama play out a few times)

Fucking-eh. Words up, man.

Flint-
Sorry to hear you got fucked over in what I consider a wormy kind of way, but I won't cast stones as much as I'd like to. As a friend once said more than once, "There's what he says, there's what she says, and there's what really happened."

The upshot is that you are in a sucky situation.

I hope you can keep your mojo until things improve, in the meantime here are two thoughts to ponder:

1) Living well is the best revenge.

2) WTF?

Somewhere in the antisocial, tattooed, fedora-wearing hipster range. He couldn't get a job in Texas--we rescued him from being homeless. He is doing temp jobs up here.

I feel for you, Flint

two years is a pretty long game just for some tail.

You own the Portland place or rent?

If you can afford to, move out. Get the new life happening. Believe me, it will be better for the kids in the long run if everyone can be real about the situation. Kids are more resilient than we give them credit for most of the time. Living in the same house and not being yourself has got to be worse than living alone with the kids and being real about things.

Is there any other reason besides the kids that you're staying for?

Big Sarge 06-05-2014 07:54 PM

you are a far, far stronger man than me. I wouldn't have been able to handle the stuff going on downstairs while I sat alone in my little room/prison cell.

Some guys are cut out to be cuckolds and some aren't.

Clodfobble 06-05-2014 10:48 PM

Aliantha 06-05-2014 10:58 PM

Clod, how could you be so mean to sexo?

Oh wait a minute...he deserved it! lol
