Down and out...need hope.

I think you did great, T. REALLY great! Stick to your guns and keep up with your GALing and PMAing!!!

For future reference, just one thing you should avoid:

I asked why we couldnt really work on any of our other issues? She said theres no movement because she is not in love with me, how could she possibly work on it.

Her response here was really predictable. You were pursuing - she's not in a place right now where this will be successful. Time and patience, my friend!

also...to make my wifes night worse, my d8 just threw the temper tantrums of all tantrums on her. w won't talk to me now and is really pissed at me. I have to say I am comfortable with it. its helping me detach right now. its going to be an interesting week. time heals wounds I guess.

The way I read this was that your kids are ALSO not going to just fall in line with the MLC Master Plan. Be careful walking the line between supporting and loving the kids, and letting them get caught in the middle. Never use them as a weapon against her - in the long run, this hurts everyone much more than any short-term "win" you might feel.
