    I am really sorry to hear that Fatty. I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like.

    Just out of curiosity, what county and court was your divorce in?

    Sad as it is, it's water under the bridge. As my friends know, I'm used to it.

    The divorce was in Shelby county, in Memphis, TN. Which made the whole bag of worms bigger at the time of divorce. Kid you not, she originally went there because I was on a business trip to MN for a month and we had a 6 month old. Her parents were there, so I understood it.

    My mom told me something very telling at our wedding. Her mom came up to her and said "must be nice to have all the children here." My mom never forgot it.

    Her mom was a b****, and I always thought that my wife wasn't. But then again, I was gullible. When I trust someone, I tend to trust them fully.

    I failed. She led on and on and on about nonsense that her mom needed her there, and that she hadn't given her father two weeks notice, etc.

    Anyway, by email, I learned that although the Sunday before she had cried to me about what she should do, the following Wednesday, she not only got our divorce, but remarried that day (my name was forged)

    I didn't fight it until two years later when she came to Houston with her new husband and demanded $500 for me to see him. I knew I didn't owe it, but they called the Bellaire police and said I was threatening them. Bada bing. Instead of seeing my son for my weekend, I'm in jail for "verbal assault."

    I have to quit writing about this. It hurts me.

    I remembered a lot of it, and some other members similar experiences. Still gets to me.

    No worries, bro! I just don't like worrying about things that get me down. I call my son every week. I may get an answer every three weeks "due to pregnancy." You have to live through it.

    The worst part was when I was willing to fly all 3 of them down so Derrick would get to see Astroworld when it closed.

    They called me two weeks prior and said no.. That sucked.

    They've both only been going for a couple weeks. To me it's gotta be at least a month before I go exclusive with anyone.

    Oh well. I'm guessing from a good number of the replies that not everyone read past the first post... this was obviously a big overreaction on my part. I shoulda given myself more than a few hours to calm down before wasting everybody's time. Sorry.

    As a friend of mine pointed out, the fact that she can't seem to go five sentences without mentioning me seems to suggest she ain't completely over it... meanwhile, I spent the past month with her completely out of my mind. People bringing this to my attention so suddenly just brought all that old anger back up, but I'm sure I'll forget about it in a matter of days...

    Start tapping her friends, that will get you a phone call from her. Seriously, forget her. She's a tramp, that's why she screwed you over.

    Ignore her. Ignore her emails. Ignore her calls. Ignore her myspace messages. Ignore her friends. Don't call her. Don't email her. Don't talk about her. Don't send her myspace messages.

    Not trying to be a jackass, but I will never understand why guys bring on this kind of drama. Girls, yes - but guys? We have better things to do.

    Fatty's situation is different since there are children involved and that obviously changes everything. He has a right to be upset, he misses his kids. I can't imagine how that feels.

    But man, I've been cheated on in the past and as soon as I found out, BOOM - that was it. The girl hasn't heard a peep from me since the day I found out.

    I don't wonder how she's doing, I don't give a ****. I don't feel the need to have her tell me the truth because I don't give a frog's fat ass. She cheated on me, her loss. One strike and you're out. Never call me, write me, email me, come see me, I never want to see you again. Goodbye. That's it.

    It's called self respect.

    Wow, she sounds like a psycho.

    All you can do is refrain from contacting her or even speaking to her if she attempts to talk to you. You never know if she could turn things around even when she reached out to talk to you. Let it go. Move on.

    Don't even talk to her at ALL.

    You don't want to drag things out if you take legal action.

    Good luck!

    I've said this before, and I know words over the internet come cheap....but I'm truly sorry you've gone through that. That story is so painful for me to read, and I wish there was something I could do to change it.
