The

"Righteous and wronged"

Attitude really gets to me.

Nothing matters as much as what's been done to her. And she hasn't caused any of it.

The fact that it matters more to dodge blame than to face what she's done and be accountable to her kids is amazing. That it's more important than seeing her kids is amazing.

I've actually watched some stuff on covert narcissistic collapse. I think that's brewing right now.

On a plus note... This is infuriating, but less than half as infuriating as it would have been 4-6 weeks ago. She's mattering less and less.

Also... Two employers have reached out and asked me to apply for very, very good jobs last week. The first one said the competition and posting was built with my skill set in mind. The second one is even better, and they contacted me the day before it was posted. When I saw it, I thanked them but told them I didn't meet the education requirements (masters degree). They took it down, changed it, reposted it and asked me to apply. If successful it's a big pay increase.

So... Yeah.

One of my wife's former friends told me how much her two BFFs bash me, and have for years, and how much they encouraged her to date snd pursue "something solid, someone she could invest in".

Ok.

I'm a good dad. I've got a very, very good job, with more opportunities coming. I'm still in very good shape because I train a couple days a week and because I work hard on our home, yard, cars. I have no addictions. I like to cook and always made meals for our family. I like being married and being a dad.

I think I must be in the top 1/3rd of the dating pool at our age.

Like.... What do they think is out there?

I think I'm trying to rationalize delusion.
