Hi all,
I have had a very difficult 4 days. A lot has happened. First I need to fess up on a few things. When I started on this site back in June 2009 I was a few days from my divorce. Well, the judge turned it down. My wife and I met about it. We continued. In August, she filed it again and once again it was rejected. I was writing the divorce papers and we were bypassing the lawyer route. The judge finally said to me, in essence that as long as I did not use a lawyer that he would do all he could to keep from granting the divorce. He suggested that she get a lawyer. She looked and finally found one. The plan was to file in October but it didn't happen. There was a difference in opinion. Got it cleared up and was suppose to file again in December. January I began to push her to file. All that to say that I am not divorced as I have been portraying myself. For that I am sorry, but it always looked like it would be completed any day now. So here I am 11 days to go and I am still married.
Last week I gave her some more money to go to the lawyer. Something happened, I do not know what it was but the lawyer quit. I think they got mad at each other. At first she said it was my fault but last night she said it was her fault. Tuesday she has an appointment with another lawyer but it appears that it will not happen before the China trip. I tried to speak with her lawyer to find out and he asked me to leave his office. I did.
I just finished speaking with Peggy. What a trouper. She said, "come to China, I will wait for you." Now how about that. Spoke with one of my children about it and she said, "Dad, there is no marriage here for you, go find out if she is the one." Huh, am I blessed or what?
So I am happy and sad all at the same time. Happy because Peggy is absolutely the greatest and my daughter is too. Sad because of the drawn out marriage and keeping it hidden from all of you.
