It's ok to cry. You've been doing so well. Have your moment..and let it go. This is only a setback if you let it be a setback. Mourn your loss,then pick yourself up, just as you've been doing.
Maybe I've missed it..but,if you can't change your locks, can you at least add another lock to your doors..and NOT give her a key? She doesn't live there..I would have a real problem if my ex felt free to come in and out of my house like that.
Oh..and did she ever confirm that she was pregnant? Has she told YOU?

I
just burst into tears, missing the person I fell in love with, and find myself back to square one, just thinking, "How could she, how could she..." I'm sure I will get past this, but I hate that I still give her that power over me.
Mourning a loss is appropriate brother. Tears are natural. You are going to miss that person for a long time. The close contact with the physical shell of that person just brings the pain back into focus. You can and will get to the point where you realize, that person never existed.
I'm sure the woman you fell in love with would never do this. The person who you married could and did. Can they possibly be the same person?
Ponder that.

Yay: we have our hearing date for Temporary Relief--December 17. I guess after this morning's talk STBX told her attorney I am not backing off the Temporary Relief hearing.
(Her attorney also indicated to mine that he is "moving forward with the Activision subpoena." Ooooo.).

I will do this after the hearing, when I have a court order to back me up. Until then I will do my best to avoid her and the drama. When I saw her car in the driveway this morning, I really should have turned around--but I thought the kids were there.
Oh..and did she ever confirm that she was pregnant? Has she told YOU?
No confirmation on this yet. I came very close to just asking her this morning, but I didn't and glad I held back; she probably would've flipped.
My attorney Emailed her attorney asking him to confirm or deny; all he has said thus far is that it is "not relevant."

What a freaking day. Now STBX wants to come over "to help DD with her project." (DD cried to her on the phone to come over and STBX let her go on and on working herself up and then told me she needs her mom.)
Sorry, no, I told her. DD will be fine. And she was, two minutes after she hung up the phone. I planned a movie night, her friend is coming over...
And it is at least half BS: she just wants another slice of family cake after snuggling the dogs on the couch this morning.

FWIW, whether or not I was pregnant was a very big deal during our entire, drawn-out divorce. I was asked over & over again if I was pregnant, RIGHT UP TO THE DAY THE FINAL JUDGMENT WAS SIGNED! OMFG!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I am not a young woman to begin with. However, I'm going through menopause, the sheer shock & horror of DDay and subsequent DDays sent me into menopause. I haven't had sex in so long, I make every one of the people on "The Bus" in the NB forum look like rank amateurs by an order of magnitude. And yet I had to verify over & over that I was not pregnant. IT WAS WRITTEN INTO VARIOUS FORMS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTATION!
So don't buy whatever stock they're trying to tell you that your bitch STBXW's pregnancy or non-pregnancy is irrelevant. It's very relevant.
(And here's where we can do a little pre-emptive group prayer & good thoughts meeting for the man, should this ever happen and I don't know that it ever will, who next manages to convince me to youknowwhat. Because that man will need all the good thoughts & prayers possible, because considering how many years of pent-up Nature_Girl there are, it's very likely I will hurt him unintentionally.

Where were the kids? Was it her time with them?
I don't think it's wise to be alone with her, even with the VAR.
Ugh.

Her attorney also challenged that STBX's pregnancy is relevant.
It most certainly IS relevant.. my EXH & I separated & a few months later I started dating my current H(WH) & I unexpectedly became pregnant (silly me thought *I* couldn't have kids when it was my EX) Anyway, when I went to an attorney to get advice I was told that until the baby was born XH could be named on the birth certificate & he could have to pay CS, even tho I told him (attorney) the baby 100% wasn't his.. he told me that it didn't matter as I was still legally married to EXH..
I used this to my advantage to speed up the D.. so I believe her pregnancy is very relevant as she could name you as the baby fathers thus giving you more legal headache to deal with...
"Sorry" works when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broken. So in life, make mistakes, but never break trust. Because forgiving is easy, but forgetting & trusting again is sometimes impossible

--I know that even if I get the house, STBX will never let it go, even with court orders. She will always consider it "hers" and will haunt and hound me for as long as I and the kids live there. She will not change. She has no boundaries.
This is going to happen anywhere you move.
I got the house, I promised my children this was a drama free zone, our entire property. XH has to wait in car -- pre our D decree.
Last week he brought OW to drop off something to our child. Yesterday I went to Magistrate's Court and got the paperwork for an Order Of No Tresspass which the sherriff will serve to her, with
No warning from me. I'm done dealing with them.
No matter where I move, it's gonna be the same, because they have no boundaries anywhere....and I will set my boundaries in stone.
I got the house in the D, I got the equity.. This last year my children and I have learned to adjust and get the D behind us. Now, I can breathe and maybe this year we will move.
I Am Never Letting OW move into this house with my XWH, it would f*** my kids up.

Where were the kids? Was it her time with them?
Justdone,
She had dropped them off at school several miles away from the home. Then she drove BACK to my/our home alone. I don't know if she thought I would be there or not.
I told my IC about this and she believes that STBX (whom she treated as a patient for many months) simply can't let go of her "other world." She put it in fancier psychobabble language, but the translation--she is attempting to continue to eat cake even as she has thrown herself into her "new life" with POS and new baby.
You know, I actually toyed with the idea of calling the AP to tell him his soulmate is in our marital home lounging on our couch and would he please tell her to leave--that this is disrespectful to him, that this is a form of infidelity to HIM?

Maybe that is what you need to do, let him know when she is there camping out. She gave you the tool to do this, so use it. (him).
Did your therapist mention anything about STBX having "fatal attraction" tendencies?

AD, I think that's the first time I've seen you use new baby in a definitive tone. did you find out for sure?
how are you holding together? for me at least, when things begin to come together legally it seems like they fell apart emotionally. don't worry, it's just another dip in the roller coaster.

Yep, get a photo of her car in your driveway and text the picture to him,, asking him what her fn problem is that she comes over and hangs out..
It might actually wake HIM up which might in turn wake HER up.!!!!
Not that you want her back, but it'd be nice for the kids to grow up with a mentally healthy mom....

Hi, Everyone,
Just dropped DD at her mom's en route to the airport with DS. (Heading to NYC!)
Couldn't leave without one last parting trigger. All she said to me as I silently stared into space was "Abbondad, my mom is in the hospital again. This time it's her bowel."
I am sorry and i was close to her mom and spent many hours at her bedside during her numerous hospital stays, but I said nothing upon being informed of this.
It angered me:
My mom died of a bowel obstruction, and as she lay dying in the hospital, WW at her side holding her and my hand, WW was deep in her affair.
I'm sure any recollection of this--let alone the irony--was far from her selfish, cruel mind.
Shame on her.

She did this to leave a mark on your mind while you were gone. Don't let this slip into your thoughts while you are gone. That's how they work, slipping in seeds of crap that take root and sprout when you are weak.
Have a GREAT time in NYC!!!

I also wanted to wish you and the kids a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you can have this one day to enjoy yourself, relax, and overindulge in lots of food!
