RE DISCOVERY

we're done.... or are we?

It took an entire week to break me down. I talked all week about trying to work things out. "We could work together," I'd say. "We can both go to counseling."

I also found out - through my detective skills - that there was some sort of fling, closeness, intimacy -- something went on during V's trip out of town. Ah, all the little hints she kept dropping about this one guy: "He's so mild mannered, we talked about everything (including sex and masturbating) and he's so nice to me." Not to mention, "If I had something going on with X, I wouldn't tell you that I was staying in X's room. I'd say I was staying in Y's room." (WTF!?!) So now, it all makes sense. (It wasn't X, by the way, it was Y. Follow me?) At any rate, I don't blame her. I just wish she would be honest with me when I ask. (Besides, what a shift, huh? I thought she was only interested in other women!)

So, now we're working on a game plan. A plan to be separate. A plan to be friends for our daughter's sake. A plan to cover my ass. A plan not to screw her. A plan not to get screwed...

Now today it turns out that V's plan for getting her life on track have vanished. At least the way she planned it. The job, the schooling... big snag. Not going to happen the way we both planned it. Crap. Now she's talking of us both filing the big B so she can just take classes. #$&@$%!!!

More later... things are still developing...
