My First Thread Lessons from a WAS locked.

I will journal a little.

My W. continues to seek advice from a "friend" of the male persuasion. She has pretty much emotionally checked out this relationship as of this weekend. We still live under the same roof, but I am going to start doing things seperately. She has indicated her need to do things on her own or with friends.

I respect the place she is in and will certainly not stand in her way. She is far too resentful and distant to have any impact on her right now. She pretty much has completely closed down and also believes we will continue to do things with our son even after the D. together. Whoever we date down the road will just have to understand as she put it.

I don't know what to say to this except every one on this board knows this isn't how it will work. The opportunity is there for my S. to strenghthen our bond and his bond to my side of the family. She has asked for space and then waivered. I have decided for my own sanity and for my son's adjustment to what seems to be my W's desire, I will minimize time doing things as a whole family. Instead will we do things seperately with him so he can adjust and we both can adjust.

I do not want it this way but her actions and words dictate this to be the most realistic and beneficial course of action. It is unfortunate, but I hope if nothing else, it will help her realize that we will both become part time parents.
God Bless All who are in need and God bless our family.
