B,
I wrote you a big, long letter to try and tell you how I feel today, almost three years (to the day) since you decided to tell me that you didn't want to be married to me anymore. I tried to capture the pain as well as the joy of the past three years, but everything I wrote sounded cliché and stilted - like you were either a devil or an angel, or I that was. We both know that neither is even close to the truth.
Because I couldn't find the words, I deleted what I had written, but I do want you to know that I am, and will always be, truly grateful and thankful that you left me.
Thank you.

Thanks for your support everyone. I'm by no means whole or healthy, but I am way happier than I have ever been in my adult life. |

it's kind of surreal to see "family pictures" of your kids and ex-wife with a new man in the dad position. oddly, it doesn't bother so much as it gives me a little pang of regret but at the same time I'm very thankful that they have another man who loves them. I think it is good for them to have good male role models in their lives.
it scares me a little that I could be squeezed out in the future, though.

I don't see that happening. |

that'll never happen. it's clear that you are a wonderful dad with a great relationship with your girls, and no matter who else comes into their life now or later, you will always have that role of distinction.

thanks lumpy and jules. i think i need something to worry about, though. it's still wonderful to know that when i go to bed tonight i will not be wondering where my wife is - that alone makes everything worth while. thank void for divorce.
