Thanks Lodo. Incidentally, that is an abbreviation used here for lower downtown, a great place to go bar hopping.
Oh yes, I only quit apologizing for everything about 2 weeks ago. I'm finally realizing that I'm not responsible for her mood at all.
We fell in love with each other because we were two hurting people who found in the other someone who treated us better than anyone had previously.
I'm torn about wanting to continue on with her. There are parts of her that I would do almost anything to keep and there are parts that I cannot live with. When I think on this and reflect on how she seems to be using her injuries as a shield to deflect any responsibility off of herself and how she seems to never apologize for the hurts she causes, then, I don't want her back.
I don't even know what to think about the A if there is one. Regardless of the existence of an actual affair, her behavior creates the perception that she is having an affair and that she doesn't seem to care about anyone else's opinion about her behavior is to my mind a huge problem.
Anyway, I'll keep working on GAL and see what happens.
Here's a different question for any of you reading. I was thinking that to minimize the disruption for the kids that a nice way to manage joint custody would be for the two of us to rent a house where the kids and one parent at a time would live and then each parent also rented a small apartment and custody was for a week at a time, swapping parents out in the main house instead of swapping kids back and forth.
