You people know how to make a girl feel good inside. Thanks so much.
My boys and their dad (STBXH) are taking me out to dinner tonight. My STBXH brought over the divorce papers yesterday. We were both amazingly calm for the first time in a LONG time. There was no friction or negative energy between us. That's the way I want the relationship to be. And I guess I'll refer to him as my son's father.
On a more crazy note- the gorgeous young contractor wants to date me. NO CAN DO, but I told him I would give him advice on the gals he dates. IF I was twenty years younger I'd be dragging him off into a cave. LOL
Happy birthday - isn't that funny, I turned 29 this year too. ha ha
You know more and more, I've been calling my ex my son's father lately too instead of ex and I guess that is because we get along just fine. Fortunately he is giving me the respect I deserve now versus how it was in the beginning and how it was in our marriage. He treats me better as a friend (somewhat anyway -I don't feel the need to hang out a whole lot with him) than he did as my H.
Why CAN'T you date the gorgeous hunk contractor? He's the same age as your sons? So? My personal belief is that our society does a crappy job of preparing us for the fact that we are adults for approximately 60 years (20 to 80) and that we should not limit ourselves based on some chronological thing that we cannot change. Some 30 year olds are more mature than some 48 year olds (Ex comes to mind...) - so what's the biggie? The neighbors will talk? I HOPE so. Maybe they're even jealous!!!! If nothing else, it's company at movies and dinner and I HATE eating dinner alone.
Oh, and a big HB too. My birthday was Monday and do you know why there is such a cluster of birthdays at this time (HB to you too, Jean150)? Think about what is nine months before -- Valentine's Day. If you want to embarass your Mom, just bring that one up in a crowd of people. I always used to tease dear old Dad that 1960 was the year he brought home flowers AND candy, LOL.

Thanks for the HB greetings. I, too, figured that out many, many years ago and kidded my parents about it. However, I'm the last of 8 -- I've found out that nothing much embarrasses my mother.......
GOOOOOOOOO FOR IT GIRL!!!! what on earth you waiting for. Young guys like older woman its awesome and they still have lots of energy to spare............and no viagara necessary hehe
Funny you mention your label for your sons' father. I call my former wife "my sons' mother". It is a succinct way of letting someone know you're both divorced and a parent, and it would still work after you're involved with someone new. In other words, it's a term you can use for the rest of your life. And so...civilized.
Chris your right, it is definitely more civilized but I have to admit that when he was still being an ass right after our separation, I wanted to call him ex more that my sons' dad. Now in person I only use my sons' dad to others but on this board posting my kids' dad uses a lot more words than ex and I'm lazy
Well the young contractor and I get along really well. I just happened to be crying uncontrollably one day while he was here and he listened to me and told me all about his marriage and divorce. He is 32 and mature. All he wants is to get married and have more kids. And seriously, if I was younger, he would be a great catch. I just don't need to open Pandora's box.
I've thrown caution to the wind in my younger days. I am now officially a fuddy-duddy.
Someday when the time is right, I'll meet the right guy and date.
