I agree also. I think there is a power struggle going on. I am not sure why. Maybe she has been thought she had to do things the way you wanted during marriage. Now she feels oh well I am going to do what makes me happy now. I am not sure that's what it is. But there is for some reason a total power struggle going on. Between both of you.
Mark I think your a great dad. I think you have showed a lot of ambition in trying to save your marriage. But when she has had an affair and that didn't seal the deal for you, why a puppy? I know we just bought a new puppy last week. I wasn't trying to fill a void or anything like that. We just simply wanted to have a a new puppy. The kid's were thrilled and I was touched to see that. I guess I wanted it as much for me as I did for the kid's. It seems like the kiddo's at your house are very excited about this.
