Self Imposed Blog Exile - Over

2009-07-13

Today is the end of a self-imposed exile on blogging of my personal life. I don't post EVERY detail (Veotz... Where are you now?), but I do like to talk in a general way about where I am, what is happening. The self-imposed exile ends, by the way, because of the realization that promises to a certain former wife have been broken at rapid and furious rates lately. I had promised to stop blogging about our personal life and experience. But she promised a lot of things too, and well.. she's broken about every one of them.

Further, I am not saying anything I wouldn't tell her anyway. Or haven't already told her. No doubt this will get printed and handed to her attorney, but I am so far beyond caring...

So. Tuesday Feb 12, 2008 is one of those special days. I got served papers for my divorce from her attorney. Now, this MAY sound bad - but it's not. Its a good step. The only thing that annoys me about the process really is that I told her last week I already paid for an attorney to assist with the filing and asked her to fill out ONE piece of paper. Nope. Couldn't do it. No doubt, her attorney filing cost a retainer of $3K-$4K. No doubt it's going to be expected that I pay for it.

I started writing every gory detail then thought better of dragging that much detail through the world. Suffice it to say, we were a great mother/father team. Great social couple. But the husband-wife experience was sorely lacking and has been for a decade (or more). Lots of little truths came out in the aftermath as to why certain things were lacking and I honestly think she realized in the end what and where she went wrong. This is not to say I didn't go wrong either. I certainly did. I was even stupid enough to make it more complicated by involving another woman in the picture, in the end.

Still.. here we are. The end is nigh and I am happy for that. I hope and expect we'll resolve our custody issues fairly maturely. Nothing really matters otherwise for me. As to the other woman issue, I'll post more about that later in the not so early morning hours. A good chunk of you already know this part anyway (or parts of it!)

Hey, I didn't post everything...just random things of relative non-importance. From what I have gathered about you from SP I can say that I'm happy that the steps are being taken to get you through the divorce. I just hope that all goes well in the court and custody.
