Thanks everyone.

zeb1094 said:My rant: Why is it so many ex's(men) con their ex-spouse(women) into thinking they(women) must pay for their(men) apartment. Yes he is the father of the children you had together. Yes you want him out of the house. He works, let him pay for the fucking apartment and kick his ass out on the street where he now belongs for trying to con you into paying his way in the world.
You have enough problems without him expecting a handout from you. He is obligated to help support the children. You are not obligated to support his sorry excuse for an ass.
Sorry, I just really hate hearing things like this. I would never expect my wife to support me in any manner after we had divorced. Luckly for us we don't have to face that challenge. I would rather live in the street than to depend on her. I just don't get it?!?
Rant over.
Ok, nevermind.sophia jane said:I agree with you, and I should have phrased what I said better.It's my job, at this point, to juggle the finances. I'm not paying for anything because he actually completely supports me and kids.

You go girl. I'm proud of you.McKenna said:I've been thinking about what keeps people in situations that are bad for them. For instance, what keeps a woman in an abusive relationship, or a man in a relationship devoid of all emotion. What keeps people paralyzed in the past instead of moving forward with their lives?
I've been wondering what keeps me where I am and the answer I've come up with is fear. Fear keeps people complacent, fear of the unknown.
It's much easier to deal with a familiar realty --even if it is an unpleasant reality-- than it is to face an unknown future. It's much easier to wallow in comforting feelings of depression, hunger, need, melancholy and want than it is to face a reality where all things are possible, but nothing is guaranteed. Much easier to stay where the day-to-day is guaranteed, even if it is unfulfilling.
Well I say bollocks.
I might not be there just quite yet, but I'm getting there. I'm going to face that fear and I'm going to step out into the unknown. A leap of faith. A leap of hope. A leap that says I'm damned well worth something more, something different, something more fulfilling.
I took my wedding band off today. The scary thing is, I meant it. The feeling of wanting out has finally outweighed the feeling of fear. And as much as I care about Mr. McKenna, I'll not settle for anything less than a relationship where two people are equally committed to making a relationship work, a relationship based off of similar needs, wants, and life-goals. I'm done letting circumstances define who I am. I'm done being afraid. I'm done settling for anything less than what I truly want.
So watch out world, here I come.

You deserve the very best life can give and if you're not getting it where you are then it's time to move on. The first step is always the hardest and by making your decision to move on you've taken that first step. I'm proud of you. 
Good on you, McKenna.McKenna said:Well I say bollocks.

That's why my ex and I decided to split and even tho my life is a huge pain in the ass at the moment, it was worth it to walk away from an easy reality that made us both unhappy.The_Fool said:yui blurt.....

Eyes and soul
Shaded by dark hair
Flows across her face
Smiling an enigma
Restrained by culture
And silk strands
Arms bound together
Ends held firmly in her grasp
Nude body flows gracefully
Into complex contortion
For her pleasure
Or just a static display
Of sensual delight
Offered in Oriental style
Colored by Western dreams
Feminine by any measure
Provocative with her innocence
Lascivious in her decadence
Offering of herself selflessly
To any and all
Except whom she is
What she desires
With shielded
Downcast eyes
