Hey Monty,

Dont give up, I think the one thing you have to do, is give her space, my good friend here, who could write a book himself, keeps screaming at me....LEAVE HER ALONE! meaning give her space. Are you living in the same house? In my situation, I declared BK (bankrupcy) to leave a small business that netted about 100k in income, but I had so much debt, we had to give up the big house and pool, ect... we really struggled and were in a negative cycle. My wife cried at each one of those steps, but I never thought much of it, I thought we were in it together-forever, I honestly NEVER even thought twice that "quiting" was an option. I was the captain of our college fb team and I left the good job to teach/coach,... so quiting .. i never thought she could do that.. It really seems to me that your wife is MLC,,,, give her space, if she is truely MLC, she really isnt in it for another man, she feels like she needs to find herself, to strike her mark before its too late. Give her space, GAL and
enjoy those teenage boys.... Make sure they show their appreciation for mom, sometimes in place of you, cause you should just give her space right now.
At times I feel guilty give advice, but you know when my family and I were on that downward cycle, i was a taker, and I felt terrible.. I was needing favors and things from our family and friends, and I really did not have anything to give back, though I wanted to.. Then when this happened, I just started giving little things, I have helped two friends who had trees fall in their yards. I worked my tail off cleaning up, cutting down... and you know what I felt much better, they thanked me over andover for my hard work. We talked aloud about my sitch. One guy was our best man, it really helped. Now I make sure I hold doors, smile take an extra minute to converse with the neighbors or the neighborhood kids... My negative cycle is turning around.... I receive help and comfort here on this board.. so I want to give back, even if I am not the most qualiifed.

Holla back
