Life is like chess when...

To me life is like chess when you are divorced to a unwilling and decieteful ex-wife. Everything that I do must be analyzed from every angle to ensure she is not pissed off. I even play by her rules on top of the leagal rules set before me. It is really sad that she is trying to show "power" over me because I no longer bend to her will. The real unfortuante prize at the end of all of this is just to see my innocent little boys whom are only 4 and 7.

Its like playing against a sore loser in chess that will swipe pieces or rearrange the board when you are not looking. Sure the messing up of the board will certainly get you ticked off but I feel funny and happy when I can still beat my ex even when she thinks that she has manipulated the game in her favor. I have gotten accustomed to her tactics for three years now and I am almost immune to her poison. She just wants me to give up but no I wont. I am the stubborn person who will play a game even if I am down to my sole king. I will play and I will not lose (stalemate is not losing, it can be looked as winning by the skin of your teeth).

Does anyone else feel like their life is like a game of chess?
