Last time she went on a trip for 4 days, this time they plan on it lasting a full week. I work Sun-Wed, noon to 11pm + OT on my days off, I'm busting my ass and she's just living it up at my expense. She defended herself by saying she'd watch him while I took a vacation. She knows I can't do that, we wouldn't get by if I did something like that. She's talked about getting a part-time job so we can split the bills but has yet to do so. And I don't see how she can do that with her taking 1week trips every month while holding a job.
Sept 1st my family planned a reunion, has been planned for months now, and she is considered a part of the family. Ironically, this guy's family also has a reunion up in a cabin where he lives around this same time and that's why she wants to go at that time. I feel as if she's not only pushing me away, but the entire family. I don't know how we'll work together afterwards if she alienates everyone on my side.
Sad but true, I think blocking him out will not prove to be a good decision nor will threats of filing for custody to get her to stay. I have to think what's best for the situation, what is solution-oriented. It's just SO hard to feel like she's slipping away from me, despite my efforts. I feel used and cast aside. :'(
You are right though, I will have to just make the best of a bad situation and enjoy the man to baby time with my lil son. I hope everything turns out good, I hope he never has to know the pain I'm feeling now.
