Yes, because after I'm already in a bad mood from your parents trying to start drama with me on Facebook, and me being sad because you didn't bother to think of me for Valentine's Day, the thing I TOTALLY want to talk about is how great and wonderful your conversation with SD was.

Seriously?

The fact that he didn't even call me is just adding insult to injury.

I just told him to have fun and that I'd talk to him whenever.

To say I'm over today would be an understatement.

Sorry that your day stinks. ((Hugs))

Are you speaking of the SD who is 4+? Scintillating conversation of political developments with a preschooler or silly, thoughtful observations shared between Dad and SD? Either way, I doubt that is what you want to discuss while reconstructing your marriage. Calling, texting, silly notes, something acknowledging your relationship would have been nice.

BTW: My ExDH was overseas in a small town in Russia and my attorney was able to serve/eFile/Lexus-Nexus court documents regarding CS re-eval etc. The time difference made electronic service and discussion a piece of cake with one timed conference call. It was slick. What I'm getting at has to do with the entire "do-over" of your marriage and selling the townhouse which has bad "ju-ju."

Wish that I had something better to offer.

Yes, it's SD4. The real thing that got me was him bringing it up was basically saying "Hey! I had time to get to a phone today, so even though I've only spent maybe 15 minutes talking to you in the past few weeks, I chose to do that instead of calling you!"

Unfortunately the nature this job has him completely out of contact including e-mail or phone for weeks at a time which is another reason why we haven't been able to take care of the house stuff. We are by no means rich people and yet in 3ish years we've known each other, over $100k have gone to attorneys so we no longer have one. My dad is a lawyer, but he doesn't do family law, so he helps as much as he can but BM's lawyer hasn't even returned HIS calls. It's going to have to be taken care of once he's home (soon!) but right now since I only hear from him sporadically it's impossible.

I'm still trying to be optimistic that things are going to be better like he said they were going to be shortly after he left, but he has a tendency to just bury things so he'll just "forget" all the bad things that happen whereas I am the opposite and will hold a grudge.

I'm an Army brat and my ex-DH is a petroleum engineer. Kinda get the "unavailability" for things that other families take for granted. It's hard to discuss important things when one person is out-of-pocket.

That dollar amount you have spent with lawyers ???? ... Unfreakin-believable.

Hope when DH comes home you have more time to relax and actually speak about things.

Can you explain a bit better, please? As Valentine's is only tomorrow, I can't understand why you are saying he discarded you.

OP, correct me if I'm wrong but I think he only gets a very limited time to talk to family and he chose to call SD and talk to her. Then blab about THAT conversation to the OP instead of talking about stuff that was, you know, actually important to both of them.

Where he's at overseas it is Valentine's Day already. He already said that the day after that (Valentine's Day here) he was going to be busy.
