Chris1989 Posted September 21 Posted September 21 Well my daughter has just told me that she is spending the afternoon with mummy and dean. Dean is apparently her new boyfriend who she's been with for two weeks, and known socially for three weeks. She has no idea who this man truly is, and claims they have something special and he's perfectly safe, he's a decent respectful guy etc etc. No, you've known him a few weeks. It takes far longer than that to know if they are a long term love and should be playing Lego on the floor, going on family outings and generally being a faux father. We have a parenting agreement of 3 months before the child meets a partner. I waited three months. I did everything by the book to protect my child. Quote
Gracii Guns Posted September 22 Posted September 22 @Chris1989 how did the afternoon work out? Sorry this is happening, your ex sounds like a wrong ‘un. The introduction has been made, and hopefully some stability can be established from now forwards. Quote

The introduction has been made, and hopefully some stability can be established from now forwards. Apparently she had a lovely time. I don't doubt it. The bloke might be as wonderful as she says he is, but it's been 2 weeks. That is not enough time to introduce a man and play happy families. I've also had a torrent of crap about how I cannot control my anger, I made her do things that aren't who she really is because of it etc. Make sense of that. You're supposedly scared of somebody, and all they've asked of you is to be honest and since you've told them you aren't interested in anybody, respect the marriage and don't go off with anybody until the divorce is submitted. Yup, you go fuck the guy who you've said for months isn't anything other than a friend. Apparently that's what I made her do because I am so horrible. The crap she comes out with is bonkers. Neither my current girlfriend or my best female friend (known each other 20 years) can believe the bullshit. Quote
Chris1989 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 I know my girlfriend is the one. She's absolutely 100% no doubt about it the one. I've thought it since the first month, and told myself over and over again that it can't be, and I am just on a high at having a functioning relationship after a decade of being mistreated. Nope. She is actually the one. We had a cancer scare in September and the thought of losing her was devastating. With my wife it always felt like I had married a work colleague with benefits. We were completing the relationship to do list. Now I know what people mean about marrying your best friend. 2 Quote
Chris1989 Posted October 29 Posted October 29 My divorce can proceed to the next step in 2 hours time. That'll be the 20 week stage passed. It's now time to resubmit and then once approved it's 6 weeks until application can go in for the final confirmation. It seems like it'll be completed in the first week of the new year based on the delays I have experienced so far. Quote
Gracii Guns Posted October 30 Posted October 30 @Chris1989 it will be a relief to have that part of your life over and done with. New year, fresh start. Would you get married again? Quote

Would you get married again? Yes, I absolutely would. I learned a lot from my last relationship and know what made me a good husband, and I know what made me a bad husband. I also know type of person does and doesn't work as a partner. All of the issues that I had previously with myself, and with my choice of partner, are not evident in my current relationship. She knows absolutely everything about me, and I know everything about her. 1 Quote
