Isn't that a nice, cryptic title? I thought it was appropriate.

You guys noticed (obviously) that I'm selling my Focus. It'll likely be gone in the next few weeks. What I hadn't mentioned was my reason why.

I've been waiting for a few things to clear up before I went public with this. The reason I sold my Focus is because I'm going through (have finished doing the paperwork on) a separation from my wife. Yes, the same person you all met more than once is no longer with me.

I returned home last October from training in Ottawa to basically a sham of a marriage. She had obviously been planning this for a while but I never did get a date / timeframe of "when everything changed". She let it linger for a week of cold shouldering and moodiness and then brought the hammer down at her Dad's place after a Sudbury Wolves game. Classy eh?

So, after a month of angst and attempting to salvage my marriage, she got her ultimatum. She chose to walk away. All I have to say to that is (then and now) - vaya con dios!

I kept the house, the cars and fittingly all the debt. Not surprisingly, we managed to pay off all of her student loans last summer. :rolleyes:

I know now that I was a 6-year social and professional springboard for her and nothing more. Sad eh? I literally brought her from nothing to what I had thought was a great life and a great marriage. The only uptick she gets is that she apparently didn't cheat while she was plotting the death of our relationship.

Now, there's one... more... thing.

I won't be coming camping alone :lol:

I have a G/F. She's great. Beyond great, really. Those coming camping will (likely) get to meet her. As far as I know she's coming with me. Those who have me on FB can already see who she is / where we've been, etc.

I'm not going to tear down my ex cause she's already done that to herself. So, that's why I've been on sporadically since November and that's why I'm selling the Focus - I don't need two cars and I'd much rather drive the RX-8. I love the Focus, but hey... rotaries are one of my dreams to drive and now I get to drive my dreams!

Thanks to those who've been there for me as I've ranted through the last 5 months. I hope I haven't offended anyone that wasn't told before... it wasn't personal. Let's all hoist a beer at the camping trip and chill together.

Thanks fellas. :D
