"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

If all goes okay, you may reach the end of the beginning soon. And your daughter will benefit. Without court orders a lot of crap can go sideways with your daughter being used as the rope in a tug of war.

Make sure that your daughter is with you when your STBX gets the offer. And watch carefully what she does with your daughter.
Thanks. They are going to have her served on a monday after I pick my kid up.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I think sharing a room with a baby, potentially two, is something you can use for leverage. You can't her your daughter being woken up every other night and then going to school shattered. What's the bf like?

Its funny how she said I wasn't going to have her during the week anymore but then changed her mind in one day. wtf
She probably found it inconvenient to actually have your daughter M-F so she changed her mind.

Using your child to as a tool to get back at someone... gotta love it.

Like BeExcellent said, keep a log of this. Definitely paints her in a bad light.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

He is a big loser. He is one of the guys she was cheating on me with. He has no car. He drives her truck and doesn't let her drive it. He used to be jacked but stopped lifting after he got her. Now he's fat. He also is covered with tattoos, even on his neck. LOL.

It took longer then I had hoped, but she was finally served today. She was pretty mad at first. She even went as far as saying she was going to tell the judge I molest our daughter lol. Now, her bi polar self has calmed down and claims she will sign it. I won't believe that until its signed and turned into my lawyer.

Might want to start recording future conversations with her
It was a text. I didn't delete it. I'm pretty sure she will sign it. She wouldn't get very far with that lie in court. My lawyer would rip her apart. He can also play the methadone clinic card in court if needed.

Be certain you put that false accusation in to your daily diary. This is exactly why you should keep one. You might need it later on. You are doing the right thing. Hang in there.

Take a picture of that text in case it gets deleted
