I remember vaguely reading somewhere that men and women see quality time much differently. To a woman quality time - is spending time interacting with one another - connecting. To a man, quality time - is time spent with a loved one in their vacinity being happy. I will admit to using this to my advantage - want SO's attention quickly - leave the house. He could be puttering downstairs all day long, but I pull out of the driveway and all of the sudden I've hit his radar. Chances are he's calling me before I hit the corner.

So Ladies,
DH and I separated last year. I am now dating a friend of mine I've known a long time and he was in my wedding, as he and exDH were friendly as well. Friend also teaches DS14 guitar. I am alt a loss with the way exDH and SO interact. SO is gregarious by nature by is overly so, with exDH. ExDH is just as gregarious to SO (and not given that way by nature). It is all man hugs, fist bumps, etc.

We need an Update!! Did you live through the weekend? Did you snap? Should we find bail money?

A warning ....
For those of you who think you have a good relationship with your Skid, please do not be fooled. My SD20 has legally changed her name to her Stepdad's name. DH is heartbroken. Stepdad is one of the several men BM cheated with. The worse, in fact, given he was DH's friend and college roommate at the time. DH & I have never bad mouthed BM for this or any of the other one million things she did to make SD's life a disaster...
