For the Guy with kids and a WW 6

[hopeful4her]

A rough draft.



I had to put this in a letter to you. We have been in this situation for quite a while now. By this time, I am not sure if you have actually signed papers for the apartment, yet. At this point in my life, I am truly tired and beaten down. I have tried to keep our family together for as long as I could.

You have tried to do the opposite.

I do not want to be a part time parent. You seem determined to be just that. No matter how you try to say it, that is what we are going to be. Part time parents.

I love you. I have always loved you. I will always love you and I will always hold hope for us.

But what I can't do is keep believing you when you say that you intend to end things with Tom.

A separation for us should be to see if you would miss me or miss us. If you are separating and continuing your relationship with Tom, then there is no point. You will explore deepening your relationship with him only. You don't think of me at all. My feelings do not matter to you anymore.

If that is what your heart tells you, then so be it.

If you can't give up Tom, then do us both a favor and just divorce me. Just pull the trigger and put us both out of our misery.

This is not truly what I want. You have to know that. I would like to attend something called a Retrouvaille Weekend. Some states make divorcing couples attend before starting the process.

I will help you move out. I will be there for you if you need me to. There is nothing for us to fight over. You know me, who I am and what I am about. But if you keep seeing Tom, our friendship is over. A true friend would not do what you have done to me. We will keep in touch concerning the kids. If you want to talk to me, you will have to contact me, because I will not be contacting you.

You are the one who I chose to grow old with. To watch our children grow up. To dance with our grandchildren.



Just something put together. I'm sure it will be tweaked.

Thoughts so far?
