So...I am supposed to have a long-awaited date tonight with a boy we'll call J. Met him almost a year ago at my former job (he worked there too at the time), and was completely smitten. As with my typical luck, he was in the process of ending a bad marriage and has a small child. Ugh. We embarked on a passionate affair anyway, which has had it's ups and downs over the past year. I have somehow managed not to let myself fall madly in love with him (he's just about perfect - tall, dark, handsome, funny, smart, successful, your basic dream come true, sans the wife of course), as the pending divorce has never actually come to fruition and I don't want to be the Carrie Fischer character in "When Harry Met Sally". Trust me, I do not feel good about being involved in this, but I have been assured things were over long before I came along and if it weren't for the child, etc., etc. - we all know the drill, I'm sure. Perhaps the karma police will get me for this someday, but I take responsibility for my actions, whatever the cost.
There are of course also some distance complications, as he lives in Chicago (but not close to where I'm working). We still talk, but I haven't seen him since September.
Finally tonight we are supposed to get together, and...of course it's yet ANOTHER blizzard here today!!! Not looking good....

Shivering...I hate that for you. I know several girls who are/have been in this situation. It's tough when kids are involved. But, people should NEVER stay together for the kids. The best thing most parents do is split up - the kids can tell things aren't good and it's a bad environment.
As for the damn blizzard...UGH! That's why I moved south!
