I am trying to share less and less but my stbx has a hard time understanding that when he asked for a divorce, most of my life became none of his business. If I were in your situation, I'd have to share most of it though so I could get his help with the girls. I guess it just depends on if he NEEDS to know in order to change his plans or help you more. I hope it turns out to be nothing!!

First off I truly hope and pray its nothing.

For me it would truly depend on how "serious" the issue is. It is very, very difficult for us to even discuss our son because ex is still very angry and bitter. Things have improved a bit but I dont think no where near well enough for me to give him info about me. But if I would need for him to get more time with the baby that would help me out for my recovery than I would have to bit the bullet and tell him about it. But I wouldnt expect too much help from him, but that is just our situation right now.

So it all depends on how things are between you and your ex.

Good Luck

My STBX and I probably share way to much information both ways! Part of that is because we're in the final stages (HOPEFULLY!) of our divorce.


I guess it all depends on the kind of relationship you have with your ex. I've knows some ex's that are very friendly and it works for them. Others...not the case. Do you think he would just accept it if you told him you were going to have a minor medical procedure, or would he try to pry for additional info?


All of that aside, good luck to you. I hope the procedure is swift and uncomplicated, and everything works out fine.

Nothing. Not a thing about my personal, work, or health. Not a word, ever.

On a more important note... I hope your biopsy shows nothing, and you recover quickly. (((HUGS)))!

I would tell him. I have a very good relationship with my ex though.
I hope things go well with your biopsy. I'll say a little prayer for you.

Thank you for all of your thoughts, suggestions & prayers!


I think I'll think about it this weekend and decide on Monday....I'm leaning toward not telling him because I don't think it will turn out to be anything serious and he doesn't deal w/crisis very well.

Good idea....sometimes, it helps to sleep on it!


I'm glad your parents are coming to help out for a couple of days. Does your mom take menu requests? Ask for something really good....lol ;)
