This is interesting because when we were together my W used to tell me that I "was perfect" because I "was not perfect." I would always thank her for the compliment and let her know I loved her too, but told her that calling me "perfect" made me uncomfortable, becuase I didn't want to be the guy on the pedastal. I wanted her to see me as human, but caring.

Now she tells friends that the OM does things for her that I could never do!

I think they want to see perfection in us because if we are perfect and love them, they see themselves as better people.... Does that make sense? It has so much to do with their self esteem and their childhood issues.

Well this is no mixed signal but it's funny.

I'm with Kimmerz I don't even want him parked in front of my house.

Ex says to me, "well I was gonna ask you if you wanted to go to the movies." Please take note that the previous weekend he was so angry and told me how happy he was and that I did him a favor divorcing him.

Luv

Ex just told my oldest daughter that he has decided to start counseling men on the trauma of going through a divorce...omg
He is a financial planner by trade. Does he realize he caused this trauma?

OMG! No, he doesn't realize that he caused all of the trauma. He thinks it was the marriage and you, etc. This is absolutely too much for my little brain today.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

Arrange these words in to make a sentence

Self awareness

Lacking

Totally

In

I cannot believe it. That is one of the craziest things I have ever heard. He will be teaching courses on the importance of fidelity next
