No way to tell. Just have to live your life for you and your kids. Don't worry about dum-dum.

I refuse to give up on that...i just need the right person ..either HIM (if he ever wakes up) or somebody else.... weird when i say "somebody else" but I'm sure there is somebody else if HE is not the one that means i haven't met the right person yet...and there is always a "right person" .
I will give my daughters an example of a loving family,they need to see that.

He can live by himself till the rest of his life....i'm sure even if he meets someone else he is not having anymore kids...he actually had vasectomy last year. His choices will be limited to find a woman that does not want children...ohh well...his problem.
Its cool that you want someone else in your life, I personally dont think I would ever get married again....NEVER... If I found someone I wanted to be with then I would live with them untill we got to I love you but Im not in love with you stage. Im sure breaking up is painful but its nothing compared to divorce.

I like the get another dog idea, my dog want nothing more than to be with me and they dont cheat,lie,or steal.

Most people have love in their life, I have my children, my friends, my dogs, I even have female friends that I love(not sexually) but getting my heart ripped to pieces and ripped off a large portion of my life savings is NOT IN THE PICTURE ever again!

You never know what life has in store for you, I was a single Dad with 2 kids that I had sole custody of, I was 35 and found someone to marry. There are guys out there who want children that cant have them, your life is not over, it just feels like it is.

The best advice I can give you is to stop thinking about your X stop wondering about if you will find someone else and enjoy the time you have with your children. Its gone way to fast and cant be replaced. Looking back at my life I realize that raising my children was the best time I have ever had. Children are a lifetime investment, and because what I went through my children and I are very close. I see my daughter at least once a week and my son a little less often cuz he's married.

I just thought that I could actually be divorced later on in the year.. he hasn't filed as far as I know, we've not discussed it. The sickening feeling washing over me is horrendous

Breathe in, breathe out.

If you start to have a panic attack and hyperventilate, take big bowl, fill it with ice then with water, stick your head in it. That will lower your hearth rate. Use normal precautions of course

Sorry to hear you are all out of sorts. It will get better though. Today I signed my divorce and my heart is broken. Not sure if it makes you feel better but today sucks all around. Could be worse though. We could be...dead...or be stranded in West Virginia on some rural road. (No offense to any W. Va's here). LOL

I am southern, but being from Atlanta originally, "real" southerners tell me it doesn't count. So yea definitely no offense will be taken.

I do enjoy Tampa though...
