I'm reading and trying to psych myself up to back off. BUT, what if I have to see him sometimes? Our older kids are in the same class and our younger ones will be too. I cannot change that. I see him several times a week at school. Does anyone have any advice for when you must see him? I KNOW logically that we can't be friends but I know I can be civil. What if I cry or feel like being a jerk?

How do others handle this? Oh yea - we also go out with a group after school meetings. I don't want to give that up - but maybe I have to. I have one next week and a friend is telling me NOT to go, but it is so hard not to. I just pulled off a big school event and raised a ton of money and I want to be there. I am being stubborn and stupid on this one I'm sure. I am working my way towards ending things completly but I am not quite there yet.

I will not be able to check this board for replies until Sunday or Monday - so if I ignore any posts, that is why!

Thanks! -Lazy

This is your life. You decide what is best for you. Do not let him dictate that. You need to feel like you are in control of your own time and space. You are a strong woman with so much to give. Do not let him take anything more from you...please know this is me only 3 days past being dumped...but it is what I think
