I was just going to say something very similar to this Bay. Do not worry your pretty head over this. He did it to himself.

Stackeye210 · May 2012

Bay. Doesn't cuntrag know like all of his friends up there? I'm pretty sure she'd be happy to spread the news around.

mizutamababy · May 2012

Yay- Got the house cleaned and everything is prepped for this work week which should be pretty easy.

Boo- Have to make an appointment to the embassy to change my name on my passport and still haven't gotten spousal visa stuff figured out yet. Also it's supposed to rain all day tomorrow which isn't fun when you drive a scooter and you have stuff to carry around.

baystateapple · May 2012

I know he did this to himself. I know. And I know I probably shouldn't care, or should be reveling in it. But I just can't. The magnitude of what he's done seems to finally be sinking in, and he's a mess, and it's not fun to watch. It's sad and it's horrifying.

ETA: Stacks -- no. She lives about an hour from his parents (same state) and his mom neither really knows her nor likes her. His friends live in two very different spheres -- the ones that live near his parents (college friends) and his friends down in southern MA (skank's friends). And the two never mix.

Stackeye210 · May 2012

And that's exactly why you'll be better off not watching him wallow in his self pity. I can't wait for you to move out so you can move on. This is not fair for you to have to deal with.

midgetthemighty · May 2012

Eagles, I totally agree with you. Hence why the only weddings of a church member I've been to, I got an invitation to. Crazy how that works!

Everyone there feels close to us so it's a tough situation.

<div>Yes - much better person than me. While I agree that it's sad to watch someone fall apart (especially someone you did/still love), at least part of me would get satisfaction that he's feeling that way. I mean, that's the way he made YOU feel in the beginning. I think he deserves it. Buuut I can be an unforgiving bitch - so that might be an UO</div>

There was actually supposed to be something else added to that sentence, but my brain is functioning at half-speed today. I meant to say that she is so caught up in acting "young" that she uses facebook the way my 17 year old sister does. no one needs to know every waking moment of your life, but live in the real world for a second and tell your family important stuff- the internet doesnt need to know first.

No, I get it, I do. It's just difficult. I still do love him, regardless of what's happened. Cropping through all the bullshit to get to how we both feel is difficult when we're both still living in the same place with a ton of baggage, etc. The trial separation starts the first weekend in June when I move out. I think things will be a lot clearer then.

We both live in Japan (husband is Japanese) and have for the last 6-7 years. My passport is still in my maiden name (was waiting on SS card change) and this year my work visa is expiring so I'm going to apply for a spousal visa so I don't have to rely on being employed to stay in the country anymore. :) Hopefully in doing so I can get permanent residency by our 6th anniversary.

[QUOTE]YAY: I have tricked FI into thinking he came up with the idea of him visiting his sister alone when we make our trip home for my sister's graduation. Now I will be able to have a day with my mom, sister and grandma to go look at some dresses. I might even be able to have one of my bridesmaids tag along too, which would be great since we dont see each other often.

Yeeeaaahhhh....as someone who is in her mid-thirties, I think I'm going to side eye this comment. Unless you didn't mean it how I think you meant it.

Erin, waking up on time without my alarm is a skill I don't think I'll ever possess. Even on accident once. I love to sleep in. I'm glad you woke up on time.

Eagles, it's okay. Maybe I should just hire you and the E mob to keep uninvited guests out?

*hugs hugs* back, Snips.

You know what? I'm supposed to sing at church tonight but eff it. I'm tired, I'm stressed, and I'm worried that I'm getting my boss's cold from last week (since he insisted on sneezing all over my office instead of STAYING AWAY when he gets sick like he expects the rest of us to do). So I'm not doing it. I'm going to stay home in pjs and knit and watch TV and enjoy my first night off since January. I've earned it and I'm refusing to get sick before WF this weekend.

So sayeth Bay, so it shall be done.

A phone call to say, "hey, i'm moving to another country" or "hey, i got engaged, yay!" just seems more appropriate.

I am about a year and four months away from my 30's, and if history is any indicator, my 30's are probably not going to be very dignified.
