Long story short, wife divorced after 20 years, SERIOUSLY fucked me up, and it took me quite a while to move on. Found another woman, started dating, then the ex had a stroke. Showed up all weepy and vulnerable. Guess it had sunk in a little bit too late that marriage vows meant something. Told her that I had found someone else but all the best and goodbye. She (of course) had custody of the children, but feeling all alone and vulnerable she took up with a SERIOUS piece of shit Chad. Because of that relationship I gained custody of the kids. Effective today the girlfriend is gone too. Initially I was sad but in retrospect it's not a horribly bad thing. Time for me now.

Off to the gym in the morning.
