			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MY FREAKING DIVORCE PAPERS!!!  This is the <span style="color: #ff6600;">FOURTH</span> time!</p>
<p>I swear, I&#8217;m going to lose my damn mind if I get them back again.</p>
<p>This time, since we filed a response, we need to sign the second page of  our judgment paper.</p>
<p>Oh but guess what?</p>
<p>THERE ARE NO SIGNATURE LINES!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s correct my friends, they <strong>wrote in </strong>two x&#8217;s and lines so we could sign.   There aren&#8217;t even instructions to say that you need to do this!</p>
<p>Like HOW THE FUCK am I supposed to figure that out?</p>
<p>By the way, they wrote the signature lines in with <span style="color: #ff0000;">RED</span> ink.  How much do you want to bet that they send them back to me again insisting that I white out the <span style="color: #ff0000;">red</span> ink and redo the fake lines with black?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, this is another post about my STBExH.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still dealing with the fact that he is moving in with the marriage wrecking whore (MWW).</p>
<p>Today, he shows up at my desk looking very sheepish and tells me &#8220;I have something to tell you which you won&#8217;t like but I don&#8217;t want you to hear from anyone else&#8221;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking..you&#8217;re engaged, she&#8217;s knocked up&#8230;what could it be?</p>
<p>His big news?  He&#8217;s going on vacation for a week in October.</p>
<p>So I say &#8220;Why is this important to me?&#8221;</p>
<p>He is taking her to the East Coast.  New England to be exact.  On a scouting trip.  In case they want to move there.</p>
<p>Interesting considering that for three years, he and I talked about going to New England.  On a scouting trip.  In case we wanted to move there.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t even know why he felt he needed to tell me.  In two weeks, I will have hardly any contact with him and wouldn&#8217;t even know or care where he went on vacation.  I believe that he honestly thinks that he is doing me a favor by telling me these things, when instead I just want to smack him upside the head for being an insensitive asshole.</p>
<p>I managed to not cry from anger and frustration.  I did manage to cry on the way home.</p>
<p>The best part?  He told me I couldn&#8217;t tell his dad about him going on this excursion.  Somehow I think his dad may have unknowingly paid for it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m taking the high road and I&#8217;m not sending his dad an anonymous letter.</p>
<p>A note to my STBExH:  Karma is a bitch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the first week in three years that I have had to work all five days.</p>
<p>(Before you go all sarcastic-poor-thing on me, youi try holding down a job with a billion things wrong with you and see how you do.)</p>
<p>It is especially exhausting because I´m only used to seeing my STBexH two or three times a week and not all week.  I had no idea how draining it is to see him.  It really is.  Not that I hate him, but it´s a constant reminder.  CONSTANT.</p>
<p>It is also a reminder that in two weeks he´s moving in with his marriage wrecking whore of a girlfriend.  My how his standards lowered.</p>
<p>I think that is one of the things that really bothers me.  Now, I´m not claiming to be a perfect person but if someone is married - I know that means hands off until they are separated. (and I´ve been in the situation).  So the fact that my ex is with someone who was okay with dating a married man really bothers me.  Like where are his morals?  Although he is apparently okay with being with someone that has no problem with that which proves he´s not the right  guy for me.</p>
<p>Still&#8230;it makes me think I should have held out for a better person. (and if any of my ex´s read this - I´m sure they are like ¨Uh, yeah you dumbass)</p>
<p>I hope have a nice miserable cheating life together - seems like they are perfect for each other.  Just wish I could be a fly on the wall when my STBexH introduces her to his father.</p>
<p>Now that will be funny&#8230;</p>

<p>My divorce papers.&#160; again.&#160; sent back to me for the freaking THIRD time!</p>
<p><strong>First time:</strong>&#160; <font color="#0000ff">blue</font> ink</p>
<p><strong>Second time:</strong> A form that was clearly listed as Option A to specify property splitting was apparently listed incorrectly and resulted in my filling out form B.</p>
<p><strong>Third time:</strong>&#160; Another form clearly listed as Option A to specify spousal support is also apparently not a valid option and so I either have to fill out form B or write in my answer on another form.</p>
<p>I swear.&#160; My STBExH and I have:</p>
<p>a) already split up property</p>
<p>b) have been living separate lives for 6 months now</p>
<p>c) He’s moving in with his girlfriend</p>
<p><font color="#800000">JUST STAMP THE FRAKING FORMS AS DIVORCED ALREADY!!!</font></p>
<p>The breaking up with my STBExH was the easy part – this is a nightmare.&#160; This is probably the smoothest easiest divorce on the planet, no lawyers, no kids, no big assets, we filled out the damn paperwork together for christssake!</p>
<p>But, you know, we can’t have <font color="#0000ff">blue</font> ink.&#160; GOD FORBID.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is it about the Olympics that makes people sports experts for two weeks?</p>
<p>I was about the only one on the planet that didn&#8217;t watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony friday OR see the US 400x medley relay flash finish.  So I&#8217;m making up for lost time tonight.</p>
<p>Apparently, I should be a Men&#8217;s synchronized swimming judge.   I could also call some Women&#8217;s Beach Volleyball.</p>
<p>The <span style="color: #ff0000;">May</span>/<span style="color: #0000ff;">Walsh</span> team is  really really good.  They are currently creaming Cuba.</p>
<p>Nice block Walsh!</p>
<p>Although can someone explain to me what the hell is on her shoulder?  Or why they had to spend 20 minutes detailing the loss and discovery of Walsh&#8217;s wedding ring?  Sucks, yes.  Happy she got it back, yes.  Didn&#8217;t need to see the metal detection action shots.</p>
<p>I would say that this beach volleyball looks really easy but then I flash back to High School PE.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just say, I was always picked last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past week something happened that I should be happy about but I´m not quite sure how I feel about it.</p>
<p>My STBExH is being transferred to San Diego and will be working as a tech at the facility where his girlfriend works.</p>
<p>He will be moving in with her.  In three weeks.</p>
<p>I know that being separated will be good for us. I guess having him at work has been an emotional crutch for me.</p>
<p>In any case, I&#8217;m feeling sorta melancholy about it all.</p>
<p>Not that I would ever take him back&#8230; I know that he and I are not meant to be spouses.  I suppose it is all part of the divorce grief crap.  This is just another step in the untangling of our lives.</p>
<p>There is a part of me that is laughing out loud though.  She has a studio apartment - no kitchen.  It will be the two of them, in one room, and working together.  The fact that he will be miserable in his new living arrangements makes me happy.  In the show &#8220;Avenue Q&#8221; there is a song about that called &#8220;Schadenfreude&#8221; (happiness at the misfortune of others).</p>
<p>It is my favorite song.</p>
<p>Not that I want him to be miserable forever - but it makes it easier for me to know that his life isn&#8217;t all hearts and flowers.   Petty of me, yes.</p>
<p>The suck thing about divorce is that sometimes you are alright with the situation and feel great about the fact that you get a &#8220;do over&#8221; and other times you go around thinking that your STBExH is an asshole rat bastard.</p>
<p>Right now, I&#8217;m in asshole rat bastard mode.</p>
