I know it can't pass... I know it in my brainparts... but I think I need to offer on this $90 OKW.

YEEEEEEES.
I'm having a bad work day, but I'm living for this right now.
LOL.

Once again, all roads point to wife swap.

just so you don't feel alone, I have this conversation with my wife on an almost daily basis

This woman doesn't complain when she's going on an impulse "girls trip" to Saratoga Springs this weekend, but you gotta put in the work!

 

[Ginamarie]

Ugh- fiscally responsible spouses!

I have the perfect solution. I'm divorced, but my ex-wife still joins us on family vacations (it's been over a decade now, and we're much better friends than we were spouses), and she NEVER argues when I want to buy more points...

I feel ya. I have been stalking the resales looking for an OKW(e) contract in the 50-100 point range, August use year, to round out our collection. It just ain't happening so I am starting to look at 2042's.

Hey, it works...LOL

Plus, she does pay the dues on all the points we use and she's good for picking up half the dinner tabs...

Best "uncoupling" ever!

I suppose it's like DVC. Everyone does it......differently?.......

Well, I suppose we could just leave mom/grandma behind. I think people tend to forget that an ex is still a mother/father/grandmother/etc. and that parents of exes are still your kid's grandparents. If you figure out what went wrong in your marriage, focus on those things you still have in common, and see the benefits of remaining a family and continuing to co-parent your kids, then everyone wins.

I'm in the same boat with my ex-husband. He joins us occasionally.

I agree!

all kidding aside, I applaud you and your arrangement. Divorces oftentimes can be so destructive. You've managed to maintain family and traditions while being civil and cordial. Bravo!

She didn't ever say no, at least not in that exchange.

During our separation we found we were very good at being co-parents. If anything, we were on the same parent-page more often, because we talked about things that, in the past, we'd've assumed we already agreed on, but didn't. Rather than finding that out after the fact, we could work through it in advance.

Curiously, I still trust her more than anyone else, and I trust her opinion, because she knows me better than anyone else. We are on each other's durable power of attorney as well. If we get on each other's nerves now (and we still do to a much lesser extent), it's not something that has to fester.

Bravo to you and your ex! As someone who begrudgingly works in divorce law from time to time, I can tell you that you're absolutely the exception to the rule.

Well, still waiting.....

I figure if I repost this that means that I'll get an answer tomorrow morning I can hope anyway!

This is why I love this thread so much.

Come for the ROFR data, stay for the wife swap fantasies, couples therapy and happily ever after divorce stories!

Amazing! Neither of you have remarried I assume? This conversation could get interesting. Honestly, it is fantastic that it works for you both.
