Yeah, I guess I have other options for the keys than I first thought. Should probably think longer before posting on new developments.

Her flight arrives Tues at 6:30pm.

We have two dogs, we both pretty much know whose would be whose, as much as it will suck to split the little guys up.

The keys are not his problem at all. he should nto start backsliding and trying to protect her. She needs to deal with her situation. This just drives it home. he needs to stay dark.

How do you know this? She told you or you intercepted?

Why would she not tell you?

Oh don't get me started. My dog (only ever had one), whom I rescued as pup shortly after I married was with me when everything went to heck and I had moved out into an apartment (She didn't want to be 'bothered' by him, so he went with me) . He stayed with me, even went to work with me and stayed under my desk while I worked (we had a very pet-friendly policy). He got sick late in the divorce process, and one day after work as we walked into my tiny apartment, he just walked over to the bathroom door, laid down, and I think I'm going to go cry now.

It was intercepted in the initial flight summary that I saw yesterday morning, though she did text me last night saying what time she'd be back. I did not respond.

You're right...sorry if I'm worrying everyone that I'm gonna lose my nerve, pick her up, take her out to dinner and ask how her week was, and tell her some crap about "still not liking that she lied to me".

Have faith y'all.

You know how it goes...I've been taking care of this woman for 8 years, the fact that she's not that same woman anymore means I need to act accordingly. Just kind of a new thing for me to "not think about how things will affect her".

I think that Shamwow has done such a good job in handling this that we've resorted to debating semantics over what to do with the keys.

really?

Seriously, it's the decent thing to do. (create a reasonable way for her to get the keys without him being there) I know most everyone is out for blood due to their own circumstances and I also find myself rooting for revenge for a guy I don't even know yet creating a situation where there doesn't need to be one isn't a sign that Shamwow is going to back out on his plan.

Doing what you need to do for yourself and creating indirect intentional harm are completely different things.


btw- love your name SW, and I wish you the best

So I am reading that as far as she knows you do not know when she gets in.

How very odd, even under the circumstances. She should have told you this information.

You are going to go through some very tough withdrawl for sure.

Very understandable. You have an opportunity for here to feel some of what you have by not being there. This is not vindictive. It is a reality check for her. She needs it.
