Yea, it's official...kinda bittersweet. In the end it's the best thing, the old lady and I just didn't see eye to eye anymore. It seems like after she had our daughter someone flipped on the crazy switch and she just went coo-coo. But, I got my lovely daughter out of the deal, so it was all worth it. Gonna take me some time to get on my feet financially and get things straightened out after moving and having my life uprooted in a Chinese fire drill, but I'll figure it out. Some cooler weather and a few side jobs and I should be able to pay some bills and maybe put some dough into the truck...without a wife busting my ***** about it, that's the best part.

That crazy woman was always jealous of the Reaper...can I help it if the truck treated me better than she did? Now my daughter loves the truck too, she tells me how much more she likes it than mommy's car Chip off the old block

I'd say that I'm "back on the market" for the ladies, but I don't need the hassle...maybe if I find a woman out there who isn't completely mental...but I'm not holding my breath, I've lost faith in the fairer sex (prove me wrong ladies )

*EDIT* Just some words of wisdom that I'll never forget..."If it's got **** or wheels it will give you problems"

 

Congrats man, now get fukn crazy. Eat red meat, bang women with out wearing a rubber, stab people with ice picks.. In all seriousness glad your happy. I have seen some of my friends, be the happiest people in the world just getting married, then are the most miserable.. Thats why I am keeping in the clear, just seeing chicks..

 

Well congrats i guess... I hope you weathered that whole ordeal ok.... Yep on the brightside you got your daughter!

 

Thanks guys, I was sad at first, but through the whole ordeal she really showed me a side of her that made me glad the whole thing was happening. It was her idea, then she changed her mind and "we" tried to work it out...well, I tried and she just gave up, then she changed her mind again and the divorce was back on. Crazy, she always changes her mind, and not just small decisions, like what to eat for dinner, but big ones, like buying a house, having my mother put a deposit down (two family house btw, with mom downstairs), then backing out at the last second. Never takes responsibility and rides thing out...so yea, I'm happy, and eating ALOT of red meat...and buckets of ice cream in one sitting Can't get too fat though...some girls like bald guys, but it's hard to find one that likes bald, fat guys...that are broke!

 

Glad things are beter now. I know what you been about the coo koo deal after the kid. I'm currently going thru with it. Its getting worst and worst. Glad you were able to keep the little one.

 

Like said above, glad to hear things are better now than what they have been. Just remember the good times you had, Thats all you can do.

 

Thanks again guys...my biggest worry is how this will affect my daughter. She's almost 4 and seems to be doing OK with it, but I know that she's confused as to why mommy and daddy don't live together anymore. At first she seemed excited to have two homes, and two bedrooms, and I know that she'll like two Christmases, but my wife has been telling me how she's acting out here and there. She's a smart kid, and I already see her playing the ex and I against each other...I've told her "no" a few times and she's said that "mommy lets me", so I know that there will be problems as she gets older. The ex needs to remember that as much as we need to love and care for her, she also needs boundaries and discipline, which I don't think that she's getting over at the ex's, living with my ex-wife and her mom and dad, that have proven to be inadequate at parenting their own kids, not to mention their granddaughter. Seems like they're more concerned with Rosie liking them and being their friend than with teaching her lessons about the real world...that's going to be my job, and I suck at being the heavy. I have to balance "making it fun" and "doing the right thing". Every day can't be a vacation...hopefully when my daughter's older and going places she will thank me for the lessons that I teach her. I've already taught her the important stuff...she told me that she wants a pink Chevy truck when she grows up!

 

Sorry to hear, glad you're dealing with things well. The kids take it hard no matter what, but she's still pretty young & it'll probably be easier for her to make the adjustments now. I've been down this same road twice now, getting close to trying a third time.

 

Thanks Roger, hopefully three times are a charm for you. My folks got divorced when I was 6, and I didn't do well with it...looking at how different my mom and dad are, I don't know how they ended up together in the first place! Glad they did though, or I may never have happened lol. As messed up as I am, I think that I turned out to be a pretty cool guy

 

My brother sort of did the same thing as far as his wife went coo-coo when the baby was old enough to affect her and he was away working late shift. only advise i can give you is to stand your ground and do what you think is right for your daughter of course even if your other half isnt.. make sure she knows what she needs to know so to speak.. she has to get raised right or else..(and ive seen or else later in life and you dont want that...)
On another note if you think you need a roommate and somebody younger to cheer you up and take you out to have some fun let me know.. well as long as you can get me a job that is ill show up..
all of course my opinion as a younger by stander..
