    Matt's Thoughts

    I agree with that, but I feel like I have to watch my wife. Old habits are still making appearances, and I'd be a fool to just believe her and trust her right now. I got burned, so I'm steering clear of the fire. I need full disclosure and to be shown that she's trustworthy. I don't think that's...

    I don't want to make the same mistakes. It wouldn't even be me going along with it. The fact that something like that exists doesn't put me at ease. I've read everything my wife has written, and it further proves why I have a reason to be concerned. There's no way in hell I'd ever willingly go...

    I was able to read the law and all the sections, and I also asked for verbal clarification. I called the family court in Melbourne. It was explained to me in great detail. Initially, it was designed for step-parents who wanted legal rights without one of the biological parents having to waive...

    Heavy thoughts... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about something. There is something that was mentioned by a mate who works in the family court system. He's aware of the former polyamorous relationship and Snowflake's relationship with my kids. He explained all the ins and outs, the process...

    I've spent most of the day with my Mrs. and the kids. We have a date tonight. It was my week to plan it, so I hope she's up for what I have planned. I've made some special plans for the weekend. She's in the dark about them. Months of work and sneakiness went into planning this weekend. She's...

    Always on time, BoringGuy. Always on time. I couldn't ignore her feelings. I'm soft when it comes to the kid. Thanks.

    It probably will be easier working as a team than going it alone. I don't know. I'm used to being at odds with my Mrs. Working with her isn't in my blood. That's going to take work like a job. I need benefits or something out of the deal if I have to work with both of them.

    Matt's Thoughts

    I finally had the chance to talk to my Mrs.'s ex. Apologies were issued on both sides. It was a productive talk. It lasted a few hours. We remained civil, and respect was present. There was no talking over each other. I heard her out, and she heard me out. We reached a level of understanding and...

    Two long months. The above is correct. She could've kept her relationship. At that point, I don't think I even cared. That's why divorce came all too easy. Did and I do I still love my wife? Yeah. I'm still in love with her, too. I don't have any regrets like wishing I had never married her or...

    Harsh? Not at all. I've looked at myself. I've had to face myself and every misstep. There is such as thing as talking too much, and it's not like my wife is even here right now. Feel free to point out all of my mistakes, since I can't grasp the magnitude. The relationships should've been...

    Matt's Thoughts

    I hear everything you're saying. I'm lacking the necessary empathy to give a damn about what she did in the past or the ability to care about her feelings. It's just not available. I don't see the whole argument that I'm using my kids. I'm not using them to hurt her. She doesn't exactly cross...

    Matt's Thoughts

    I don't assume anything when it comes to the Mrs. I got swift kick in the pants when I did that. I ask her questions, expect the truth, but still have doubts. There's little trust, so I'm supposed to believe her word is bond? No, thanks. That's a set-up for disappointment. Talking does nothing...

    Yeah, mistakes were made by all. We're human and subject to fuck-ups. I spelled out many things. I don't know how many ways. "I need time alone with my wife," can be taken. That couldn't have been more clear. Hints didn't work, so I spelled out exactly what I needed. That's why I kept saying I...

    Matt's Thoughts

    I didn't address the state of our marriage. We have good days and bad days. We have misunderstandings. She's slipping back into some of her old habits of not listening to me, but I say something when I see it. It's usually met with resistance, but we talk about it. It's tough. I came back from...

    Matt's Thoughts

    I met my leading lady in 1999. She told me she believed in polyamoury. I had questions, and I said I'd try to deal with it as it came. No promises. No guarantees. I needed time. I stuck to that. Never reached acceptance. Only tolerance. Around this time in 2000, she met Snowflake. I didn't know...

    Wide Awake

    There's no drama. We've already talked about it. I'm not a fan of being painted as the villain, so I spoke up for myself. No biggie. There's no confusion because it's coming from me. My thoughts and words. I'm owning them.

    Wide Awake

    Being around on and off isn't what a parent does. That's what she did. There's no contradiction. She decided to increase her motherly duties. By choosing, I mean selecting when to be there. Nope, I'm not calling her a parent. Selective parenting. Where's that acceptable or cool? How many parents...

    Wide Awake

    I haven't been on here in weeks. Popping in to check messages and skim. I just wanted to comment on some things. I'm still trying to figure out why she needs to be involved in the raising of our kids. Nobody can seem to tell me what it is that she contributes. She does a couple of tasks, and...

    Wide Awake

    My wife and kids are the most important thing to me, and since she's important to them, I have to care to an extent and work with that. I talked to my daughter and listened to her. She speaks highly of her. She's old enough to formulate thoughts of her own and to make decisions about who she...
