Hey Native,

So how are things? As far as your question a few psot back- muy wife and I have been seperated 5 months now. Seems like justa month or two. I may have done all the wrong things but as soon as she told me I saw lawyer, pushed for a seperation agreement to protect my time with my daughter. When it first happened she slowly started to text someone in another state where she had visited her best friend. It seemed like at first she was on the fence and I had a chance but the problems she listed were things I couldn't control (pay and schedlue) right away. Over the two months in the house whe had arguments about relationship and every time she drifted farther away. She drifted away toward the other guy for attention. I remember she looked at me one night and said I was in denial, then asked when I was going to move out. I said not until I have a seperation agreement giving me custody of my daughters 1/2 the time. Then the next day she called me from a lawyers office with questions and that afternoon came home with an agreement. :(o

The three months out of the house have been eye opening. Her relationship with this other guy has grown stronger I believe and her relationship with my daughter has gone deeper and deeper in the toilet.

Funny thing in my sitch is that my wife loves my duaghter to death but is so career, money and prestige obseeded that she is ignoring her and doens't see it.

So sad! Almost every game my daughter owns is now at my place because my wife will not play with her, my daughter told me the other day in the car that the time with me goes by so fast but time with mom goes really slow.

Well sorry to answer your simple question with an outpouring. I sometimes wonder if I had found this site and some of the information (books) whether things would have been different????

Glad you seem to be doing okay though. I think our daughters really help. Not sure which helps more - watching her have fun and spending time with her or knowing that I have someone who I need to protect and look out for?
