I was just chatting with a co-worker about another who had recently retired and is now travelling the world... he said something to the effect of not being able to afford to travel because of his "leaching ex"... He forgot that I recently separated, and receive spousal support...

I laughed and said, "Well I'm not a 'leaching' ex, I am just getting what I deserve, and I take it and say 'thank you very much'"...

He chuckled, and realised his foopa... he knew I wasn't taking it personally...

Isn't it weird how things look from the other side of the fence??? I'm sure many of us have Xs who refer to us as 'leaches'... oh, well, too bad, so sad, mine should have thought of that before he took up with his OW... He did the crime, now he's doing the time...

Now see, I think of OW as a gold digger... I never met her, and don't like to speak ill of the dead, but I was the one who helped him build his company, went through times of uncertainty, unemployment, cashing in retirement savings to stay afloat, and then OW swoops in when the sailing is smooth, and takes, takes, takes...

I don't want child support from her except for her to cover 1/2 of the kids activities (dancing, gymnastics, soccer etc.)
That is more than fair but yet she can't be happy.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
