I mean its not to say i dont like talking to women lol, but i just wasnt in the mood. On a brighter note, im starting to notice some changes in my wife. She is telling me to pack up and get closer where as before she was very stand offish about it.
Staying the course portland dad. TY much
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
This is YOUR marriage, and don't let anyone talk you out of its value. No one else is in your shoes, feels what you're feeling, or thinks what you think. Stay determined and don't let anyone talk you out of your commitment.

That's a good post! And right on!

Yes Antlers, PortlandDad has given me several priceless gems like that. You're a good guy Portlanddad thank you.
I can feel her coming around as i improve, or maybe she just seems more normal because im getting back to normal. Either way, i see the difference now.

whoa, she is dragging her feet about filing. Me im as ready as im going to be. Im sitting in a motel in my hometown. We were heading to the casino and she was texting. Wouldnt talk to me or anything so i took her home lol. She got mad when i dropped her off and said maybe tomorrow, I was insulted with her antics on the way to the casino, maybe i was wrong?
Man it was good to see all the kids though.
You said there was a way forward and a way back, i chose forward.

MLB, hey ive been following your posts I admire your strength man keep it up.....I feel i may need to follow in your footsteps and try putting my foot down a bit. Now that would be a total 180 in my situation.
good for you mlb. You might question whether it was the right thing to do, but it definitely was! You are showing that you have boundaries and that you won't accept her outrageous behavior. Awesome job, man.

It was kind of back and forth, I didnt get to spend much time with my oldest step daughter too much, she is staying at a friends house for the weekend.
My stepson and i were supposed to get our haircut and head to the park.
My youngest daughter and I have been running around a lot, eating mostly lol.
I helped my wife get a newer car, she and i talked quite a bit. I can see now how lost and confused she actually is. I backslid the other day, she kind of dropped a bomb on me, but all in all the time we spent out car searching and running around was really positive. She says we can start dating again, which im happy about.
I had every intent on filing when i went down there, she asked me not to yet.
In summary PortlandDad, it was great, terrible, sad, exciting and definatly confusing. It was more then i could have asked for .
Thanks again.

Her moodswings drive me nuts. In the morning and during the day she is so much nicer, but man when its time to go out to the bar or a party im the scum of the earth.
Im so fed up with her jeckyl and hyde crap.
When we were out looking at cars we talked a lot, joking around and then a little M talk. She told me she loved me, she wanted us to have the same connection that we used to have but she just didnt feel that anymore, she says she wants to.
Then she flips things around later and says i just dont think its going to work out, so what do i do? Of course i start manipulating, I mean well but its so hard to stop yourself sometimes.
She told me that in the time we have been seperated that she was with another guy and that she talked to several on a regular basis. Let me back up, I told her i wasnt interested in what happened in the past, but i think she wanted to clear her conscience.
I completely fell apart when she told me about the other guy, but ive pulled it together pretty fast, she started being very disrespectful to me after she shared that with me, i took it until this afternoon. I demanded an apology and told her if she wanted anything at all to do with me she had better change the way she talks to me.
I didnt get the apology yet, but she has simmered down a lot.
Im scrambling to make sense of this new person, im not sure that i like her too much right now lol. She is a selfish, greedy, cold hearted, manipulative B-word at the moment.
Then again tomorrow she will be something entirely different. I really feel used by her right now, i spent a lot more time then i had planned helping her get this new car, and now she is gone like the wind in her convertable lol. Man im a sucker sometimes, on the bright side if this goes well, i have a nice car to tool around in lol.
This post was just my random babbling, i had a lot of stuff on my mind. By the way portland, i finally finished reading your original post. You are tough as nails for hanging in there. I know the havoc that online games can reap in your life, I used that as my social outlet for a long time too.
Take care folks, keep your heads up and your hearts light.
