Helpers, you and I are in a similar sitch. Both financially and in terms of our relationships.
I neglected my W this summer while I was immersed in this big work project that took over my life. I was working crazy hours and was exhausted whenever I wasn't working. Right as I was finishing the project is when my W started having an affair. I know the exact date when she started having her A, and that was exactly the same time she started withdrawing from me.
It's so funny that you say this because I have the same feeling that I can pinpoint it to the day when this all turned on a dime.
Together since Feb. 2003 Maried since July 2007 Bomb occured early Dec. 2008 She's approved for a lease mid Feb. 2009 (deciding on if to take it or not)
