Hey Everybody,
Sorry I have not been posting much in the last 5 or 6 weeks, but I decided to get divorced on Jan 22 and my life has been a little crazy since then. Dealing with finding a new house and dealing with real estate agents, lawyers, and most of all a manipulating soon to be ex-wife. Her definition of half is that she gets all the stuff and I get the bills. She tried to make me sell my Intrepid because she choose to sell her new car and keep our Mini van. I don't think so. I should be moving in to my own house at the end of march, it is sad that $300,000 is a real good deal for a 1600 square foot house in San Diego. But I need to stay here until my kids grow up, I don't want to be a weekend dad.
I know that I am older than most of you here, but let me give you a little piece of advise about marriage, I believe in it and I liked being married, I just could not take it any more with her. My advise is don't compromise on things. When I was dating her, I thought it was ok that she didn't like to do things that I really liked (you know I loved her and I could give them up) but after a while it starts to eat away you and things just fall apart and get ugly. I have two beautiful daughters that I now will only see half of the time, but it is better for them to see me happy by myself or with somebody else than miserable with their mother.
Trust me when I say this is a real good thing that is happening, most of the people who know both of us did not say sorry when they heard, but said congratulations and I should have done it a long time ago.
Thanks
Charles
