There is now a short, balding and mildly pudgy guy back on the market. Watch out!!!

But seriously, My wife finally moved out. Things are going very well on the divorce front. We are finally able to be open and honest with one another and it's been a nice change. There is even the possibilty that the entire thing will be settled by the end of November. I'm currently finishing the move for her. I was a bit ticked that I was responsible for so much but it has turned out to be rather theuraputic. The last of her things get moved tomorrow morning and I couldn't be happier.

I've even been on a "date" or two and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. No where near as scary either. So all and all, it's nice to put an end to this chapter in my life.

I haven't been around here much lately. Well, to be more specific, I've done a lot of lurking and not much posting just because I've been too busy and stressed to put much effort any where other than my current situation. But that hopefully has also changed for the best. My theorapist even said he didn't think I needed to see him anymore because my whole attitude seems to have honeslty shifted and he didn't see any "BS" warning signs. I think a lot of it comes form the fact that she finally came clean about her relationship and we were able to move forward at last with out anything hidden. That's such a nice feeling. Plus it doesn't hurt that I'm realizing there is definatly life after all this. Like I said, I've even met a nice lady friend that has been a wonderful surprise. Not because I'm trying to jump back into anything, but because I've found a good friend to vent to and laugh with, which is something that has been missing for too long. It's neat realizing that you are old enough to really appreciate the company of a woman without being worried about sex or relationships or any of the crap that has clowded these past few years.

So anyways, I just wanted to throw that out there and say thanks to Hatrack for the past two year of my venting and frustartions. It seems that has really been the bulk of my exsistence here and I'm interested to be something other than that angry guy on these boards. You guys rock.

I thought we came to the conclusion that because you have adorable children, you are at more attractive. At least I remember a thread where this was decided about you.

Sweet. I don't remember that but hecks ya! I'm all about residual cuteness.

Actually I've heard this from a few of my female aquantances lately. They seem to think that I could use my kids as chick magnets. And although I toattly appreciate that adea, I have made a very strict line about the kids for myslef. They will not have anything to do with any other women for at least a year, perhaps longer. And to be honest, I'm trying to keep myself away from anything real huge myself for a while. Friendships are a great place for me right now.
