Puppy: When was the last time you asked her "is this really what you want to do?" When was the last time you said "I won't tolerate a third person in our marriage.
W says OM isn't reason she is leaving, its her ability to handle the day to day chaos of the house, she feels like she is getting no where in life. W says she isn't cut out for M, doesn't like to tell someone where she is going. I tried to let her run, I tried to help her envision her goals and we talked about what we could do, told her I would support what she wanted to do, and we would put the kids into daycare in the summertime, so she could pursue her dreams, school, etc.
She is a capable mother, she doesn't think so, I keep telling her her that I know she is trying the best that she could and I would never ask more of her. I have always tried to help out around the house, The kids are all well adjusted and are loved by her. She keeps saying she was never cut out for M with children.
Jeff,
I don't have a lot of time here, and neither do you. So I'm sorry I'm being abrupt, but what I'm trying to determine in your situation is, is she TRULY an unfit parent, or is this just so much affair/WAW "script"?
