Wow, B4S,

My W. hs some issues, but it seems like youe XW. REALLY has issues. I thing you handled it magnificently. She pulled the plug, NOT YOU. YOU tried to work it out, NOT HER. What the hel* is the point of her telling you that she's lonely...what did she expect? Did she think it would be easy with kids and a house to run and a substantial loss of income. WTF? I see an abnormal amount of this kind of weird behavior. what do they think will be better? My W. can rationalize it all. I tried the arguing of that, how the kids would suffer, how we would both be worse off...doesn't matter...they have to recognize it.

The frustarting part is that she DID pull the plug and never gave it a chance.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear your W. say she made a mistake, but if she's like my W., "Sorry" and "I made a msitake" are not part of their makeup. MY W. has NEVR said she was sorry for anything in 20 years!
