I just want to clarify that I have friends who are girls that provide the friend stuff. Not true "girlfriends" that I make out with or something. My sister-in-law is another story. Maybe I'll talk about that later in the adult forum.

I have a very odd and messed up relationship, if that is what you call it, indeed. My wife tells me every time I travel, which is about 20 times a year for an average of 4 days each trip, that she is glad I am gone, that if I die while on travel she will be glad to collect the insurance money (it is triple if I dies while on travel for my job), and that basically the only reason she keeps me around is for the money and the other thing I satisfy her with. Such a loving and caring woman really.

The only other compliment she gives me is about producing beautiful kids. What can I say? I make 'em cute.


That's such an unbelievably messed up story. Aren't you paranoid that you are going to be murdered, or at least creatively neglected?

I feel sorry for your kids... dang. I hope you can compensate for your bitter half.

Tigger, love ain't enough to hold this
together. I think it's time to leave,
opportunities or no.

Calandale is right Tigger :wink:

As for visiting your ex, it sounds like you are very vulnerable right now and if you visited her you could end up doing something you regret. If you want contact with her then send a e-mail or letter then think about visiting another time.

Hun, it's a f*****g poll. I'm not sure you should be paying it that much thought.

Write a list of pro's and con's, that usually makes the decision clear for me.

“I saw a lady with a flower and she was plucking out the peddles. She was saying, ‘He loves me, he loves me not.’ Thank god the flower can’t talk. What would it say? <Bleep>, that hurts. <Bleep>, that hurts as well. <Bleep>, leave me alone…I’m no longer pretty, and he loves you not. I could have told you I had an even number of petals.” -Mitch Hedberg

That sounds like a good strategy. Kill a flower to get my answer.

Hell, I didn't even vote.
Partially because at first,
there wasn't enough information.

Remember, people might have skimmed
your first post, and voted one way or another.
Then, later, they read more, and can't change
their vote.

So it stands out 5-4 and I am leaving in the morning. What to do? I suppose I am going to mail the pictures from my hotel and leave it at that.

As for my alleged vulnerability...really, the situation I am in is nine-years old. If I was vulnerable, I would have fallen into temptation already. I had the chances.

Would anybody change their vote with all of the additional information?

I wouldn't do anything based on an internet poll.

It sounds like you already made up your mind what you were going to do, and made a poll just to justify yourself.

Plus your situation with your wife is so bizarre/messed up, that I don't think anyone here can gauge accurately what is the best course of action here.

I believe that you have sufficient nobility to be able to meet with this woman without doing anything dishonorable. You've suffered a great deal without falling before.

I still wouldn't encourage it.

But if you do meet with her, don't let me down. I am a young, impressionable girl and I like to see men being good. :D

I am off on my quest and will report back as to what transpires, which is likely to be I spent $0.41 to post a few pictures from a few miles away. Although I may just visit her Mom instead.

I was going to say "don't bother" but after seeing what you've said about your wife, maybe you should see your ex in person. It's too bad you couldn't pull the pin on your marriage but if you do, please don't do it in the hope of getting with your ex.

If your wife says you can't do things, do them anyway. If she can have male friends you are just as entitled to have female friends.

I am in a good place about this right now. I went down to our old campus and walked around, even stopping by her old dorm where we used to pretend a mistletoe hung from the top of the building around the side where we could privately kiss. I felt nothing more than that it was nice to know we had that place. I hadn’t been to that spot in seven or eight years. Back then, I still could not prevent some waterworks. That was kind of a big deal, since it was the last place I still had trouble like that.

My fortune cookie says: "Accept the next proposition you hear." Hmmmm!

Funny thing is, it looks like my meeting is going to carry over too late tomorrow to do anything anyway before I have to go catch my flight back.
