Ahhhhhhh what Laurie said !!!!!!!!!!!
I used to and sometimes still will think like this hun:
What we had and what he has now:
Now / Back when we were married
New house / Older and a fixer upper
More land / We only had 7 acres
No kid responsibilities / We always had kids under foot
Party time Party time / We never had the $ for parties
Then reality came to me late one night and it went like this:
He only has a house not a HOME
Look at that 13 acres......not one tree or shrub......we had (and I still do) 3 acres of woods with a nice creek, a one acre pond......a large pool....and a decently kept home.
And when the kids are home and one usually is they all say how much nicer it is here cuz Dad's NOT here anymore causing fights and being drunk.
As for the parties.....I have cookouts with friends almost once or twice a month. And no one gets drunk....now THATS a party....fishing, swimming and laughing.
Just for the record hunny.......its not my home's deed that he driving with on the hood of his truck every day.....it's HERS......but then she drinks and drives as well. Soooo. Does he have a better life now????? NO WAY.....not even close.
You will come to the realization that he is only trying to show YOU what he wants YOU to think YOU missed out on......and guess what.....HE HE HE will be the loser of all time because HE lost YOU......wait and see.....time tells all.
