It's bizzarro...you at least are a step ahead of him, in that you realize that she's doing this...the guy know is so whipped that he just goes with it...sad to watch.

    Also, I've never been on a cruise and while it might suck to be with your in-laws for that amount of time, and thus being excluded may seem like a blessing, the time missed with your son is something that I'd be upset about too. Plus, she sounds like the type of person that might actively try to make your son hate you if you're not around to keep that shit from happening. Anyhow, vibes man...sounds awful.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    I don't care where I am right now. The fact is I am not on vacation with my son. We could be watching Sesame Street, but if I am doing it with my son then nothing else matters.

    I am being the adult in this situation.

    I might sound bitter. You have every right to say that, but there's way more history between my wife and I that you are unaware of.

    Ok, I sound like a dick, but just in a really bad spot here.

    got it

    thank you, trying for some inner peace. Haven't had inner peace in about 6 years.

    I treated myself to a new ski outfit from Peak Performance. PUMPED!! Also, did some shopping today for myself and for my son.

    I miss my son like no other right now.

    I will also say that I am really hurting inside that I am not with him.

    Edit, cruises suck. that dude's wife sucks worse. If you need anything, call us here in Colorado, I have a place in Silverthorne you can stay at if you need it! Ski and bang college girls ( who are the naughty neighbors everyone dreams about)...win win

    thank you for the offer

    I tried looking for flights the other day to go skiing out West but flights are insane

    thank you, greatly appreciate it

    I will tell you this, my wife's family pretends to be so close knit, but that's only if you come visit them. They never come in to see us or our son. I think my wife hates that our son is so close with my parent's, who come in to visit us. Keep in mind her parent's live only 35 min drive from where we live. My wife has abandonment issues from when she was younger from her first dad.

    I am not saying I am better than your friend, but he should wake up. And I do feel bad for him cause what he's going through sucks. Nothing less. It sucks.

    I would feel bad for my son if my wife or any of her family members say anything bad about me. Anyways, I would find out when he gets back on Tuesday. Keep in mind he is 3 1/2 so he has no idea what "don't say anything to daddy" means. He tells me stuff all the time, even good stuff, that my wife doesn't tell me.

    I wish somebody around nyc wants to drive and share a room near Sugarloaf. I could kick in for gas money and extras.

    This one thousand times over.

    I'm certainly having a hard time being the adult but dwelling on things you can't change provides no comfort. You can work on what you did to arrive at the point where divorce was the solution but beating yourself up gets you nowhere. You can make sure your self-aware so you don't make the same mistakes in the future. The focus should be shifted to the important things in your life like taking care of yourself and your kid(s). Talking to a counselor has helped me immensely and I recommend it.

    I also roll with a solid "thank you for your input" when people (ex-wife included) offer up suggestions about my life.

    Thanks to all for the support I've received here. That means the most of all.

    If you want to come up and go for a mt bike ride with me and my daughter you are welcome to join us. We may ride tomorrow if the fog breaks and Friday looks like we almost certainly will. While I'm still unemployed I am free to ride when they're back in school next week too. A few hours in the woods can only help to clear the head...

    greatly appreciate the offer

    I don't MTB

    If no skiing this weekend, I might head to a friend's house out of the city.

    I have to say it again, it feels good typing this stuff.

    Just because you haven't before doesn't mean you can't. If you're 5'8" or under I have a bike you can use. Like I said, time spent in the woods is good for the head...

    Hey, I've been there too, I'm just trying to provide some perspective. If it's over then let it go, it doesn't matter what the history is. The shit my ex and I went through and said to each other was horrible but once I accepted that it was over I wasn't angry or sad anymore. It will get better, it's just like the grieving process.

    SOFI--if you take him up on the offer make sure you still have health insurance after the divorce

    The only way to win the drama game is to not play.

    Wimens who do this are often psychopaths or a very least sociopath/narcissistic.

    Bee good to yoself.

    Typing thoughts out helped me too. I belonged to another local ski forum with a off topic section that had not been posted in for over a year. I started blogging what was going on with me and a few people found it. Made me realize that I am not alone in this world and alot of people have traveled this road before. Probably the best therapy I could receive when feeling down. If you start feeling shitty just post up We are all out here BTW Wishing you a nice New Years Eve.

    I live in a town where up to 5 cruises arrive per day in the summer. The way they lather passengers in Purell at every passing, I'm 95% sure it's a giant norovirus shitsoup festival. Count your blessings.

    cj - I'm just now checking out this thread and all I got is the already mentioned "let it go/move on asap" but I'm sorry to hear about it. Vibes, man. Give yourself a year to be a little nuts, and work hard to keep good with the kiddos.

    happy & healthy new year

    I went out drinking last night. As I had mentioned, I rarely drink.

    Felt good to throw back some beers and get lap dances.

Bitches be crazy.

    Yep, every now and then my girl goes off on me and tells me to move out. About 2 months ago I told her if she ever did that again, I would leave her. Pretty damn nice to me since then. Go figure.
