Hey Jayce - Yeah her dog is cute for sure... oh and spoiled too. W's parents had a rotten marriage. Her dad is now deceased (diabetic/heart attack). Anyway when he was still around they were very nasty to one another, I mean talked in a way that if my wife did it to me I'd already be gone. Very disrespectful and hateful and no affection at all. They slept in separate bedrooms, basically warring house mates. I have no idea how or even why they stayed together.
My mother-in-law is a very creative and interesting person. I really enjoy talking to her and she can be fun to be around. However, she has a negative outlook on life. As far as sex only for making babies, yes that would probably fit my MIL but not my W. We even had a conversation very early in our relationship about how different our generation is than our parents (both our dads were WWII vets and moms about the same age) and how we can enjoy sex, so there is no mental "this is dirty" hang up for her.
I've said this before, her attitude is we are getting to the age where she just has no interest in this anymore. Old people don't have sex. Mommies don't have sex. Sex is only for 20 somethings then it's over.
It does scare me that what I have now could be as good as it gets and I could be screwing up an otherwise pretty good relationship. If I stay and our sex life never changes, I know my beast would come out again and I know I would end up in an affair again. I don't want to live that way any longer.
It's give all my love and affection my wife or give all my love and affection to someone else. At least I would be living honestly instead of living a lie as I was. If it came to me leaving and starting over, of course there is no certainty to finding someone any better.... there would be at least some hope for it to happen though.
I did do the follow up call and the hiring manager was out of the office both days I called. He does a lot of field repair work and is out a lot evidently. I'll call again today. I just feel like they've left me hanging a little too long now.
