I was raised to be a Jedi Master. If you listen to my parents, I mastered it. I am Darth Vader, baby, able to make anyone, anywhere in any situation treat me like shit, just by sitting there minding my own business. Beat that! My Ex continued the training, telling me for years that if [...]

So he admitted to not asking me for the day, and just “assumed” I agreed because he “mentioned” it as a possibility back in August and I didn’t object. Apparently in the mind of the Ex, the separation agreement is a “framework” and not binding. Or at least, not on him. I told him that [...]
unspecified update
Posted in married to a sex addict, single mothering on August 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I can’t claim to be writing weekly updates at this point, so … New house, new town, weekends, PP, new job, etc., all fabulous. Having a great time. Feeling like a camper sending a postcard home in bullet point format. Need to live with it. Ex being a dickhead. Not responding to emails, just like [...]
someone talk me down off the ledge here

So the Ex replied to my last email politely denying his requests to spend all his time with PP by charging that I don’t put her first and am not taking her feelings seriously. I have tried now twice to draft a reply and no matter how much time I give myself, it still always [...]
men are dumb

So, the Ex got his office relocated to Bob for a year, so now of course he’d love to spend more time with PP–in fact, he wants to spend ALL his time with PP, and doesn’t see why I shouldn’t just not see her at all. Seriously. He wants more than half the week–plus extra [...]

1. Working tons of overtime. I know that sounds like bragging or the Pain Olympics but it’s not meant to be. I am just … workings tons of overtime. Deadlines, colleagues on vacation with projects on deadline, people away sick, persnickety clients in distant countries who want things Just So but don’t really understand what [...]
OCEAN again
Posted in married to a sex addict, reinvention on January 5, 2010 | 7 Comments »
I’ve been reading about the five-factor model of personality, again, and I know I’m not supposed to but I keep applying it to everyone I know. The acronym is OCEAN, which stands for: Openess to experience: the artist factor. How open-minded and unconventional you are. Apparently relates to how well you can think across boundaries [...]
and this, just because it is funny

The Ex and I drove together to PP’s holiday concert earlier this week. As I was strapping her into the car on our way back here, the radio played an ad for ashleymaddison.com. He turned it off as soon as the voice said “affair.” Shame, or denial disguised as moral outrage? Your guess is as [...]
photographic evidence
Posted in married to a sex addict on December 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have to provide a photo of myself to go along with an essay being published in a magazine next year, so the other day I was browsing through folders of old pictures of me, trying to find something relatively recent, sort-of high res, somewhat flattering. They all showed PP, of course, and I ended [...]
