I was talking to my W's cousin last night and he pointed out that in alot of ways, my W has become an exact duplicate of her dad.
Saying she is never completely satisfied. The grass is greener on the other side and she can be forgiven of anything she chooses. He said she is always looking for what she thinks will make her happy. Her dad has always done that.
He has never been completely satified with what he has. Hence, her dad cheated on and physically and verbally abused my W's mom and then divorced her. Then he had other women coming around as my W was growing up. Then he finally picked a woman who had a young daughter. He slept with the young daughter when she was an underaged teen. Then he married the mom after. He actually got away with it because the daughter ran away from home and so the police didn't have her there to testify. So her dad has always gotten away with everything and found some way to justify everything he has ever done and always accused others of being judgemental if they were not in agreement with him.
In alot of ways she has followed in his footsteps as far as thinking goes. Makes me wonder if she will ever come back even if I am able to make this complete 180. Both her dad and mom are remarried. Her sister left her husband for someone else and has not ever gone back. Her best friend left her H and married someone else. They all told her eventually that she needs to be apart from me.
It does seem rather bleak. I think I have let these things get to me and they have created fear that she might not ever come back no matter how well I change or do.
I guess I just worry about this stuff and I let if affect me.
