Yup and getting more hits than Google home page but not giving it up until I meet someone who really knocks my socks off again like Ashly did. I may as well tell you all that she and I talk daily and are wonderful friends. She will sit beside my son at my funeral; not that I am going anywhere anytime soon. Finest woman I have ever know and I've know plenty. No two people love and admire each other more than us.

As for the ex-wife what needs to be said other than she drives a Honda Fit now? That speaks volumes.

My boy is doing great BTW, he's 7 now :)

In addition to dropping 50lbs I have doubled my net worth from $300G to $600G the past two years as well. I don't pay alimony which is good because I am $90G instead of $60G per year now, I only pay child support, my RRSP's (six figures) are untouchable as is my company pension. In short I am having the best two years of my life. The fact that I held onto the house is gravy, friggen thing is worth a half million retail now and my morgage is peanuts on very favourable terms.

The Lesson: if you are "sticking it out" because of dumb loyalty/morals/values/"for the kid(s)" then you aren't doing anyone any favours, least of all yourself. Get out no matter what the apparent cost or how impossible it seems. It couldn't be any more difficult than the hell I have been through but SO worth it.

PS: Newf, I am 6'2" and as the miltary used BMI as their measure and I am, at 185lbs, at my ideal fighting weight. The pounds started dropping once the stressor moved out and have stayed off. I don't do anything "special" like go to a gym or dwell on what I eat. I only got big because I was constantly berated.
