Thanks, I appreciate all perspectives here but I am prone to go with what my pastor says. Or more accurately, what the Bible says.
If he was satisfied with his choices he wouldn't be in such misery and inner turmoil. There are some WAS' who just walk and don't look back. They feel freedom in finally living the lives they think they were meant to live. Conversely Dan struggles every day and is dying inside because of his choices...So clearly he is going down the wrong path and he knows it but for whatever reason he has not/can not/will not change.
I do not expect a rainbow ending here. But he is the father of my children and if he winds up killing himself or otherwise removing himself from my children's lives over this, that would be terrible. I feel I have to reach out to him once, and then the ball is in his court. He has admitted he is miserable, admitted he is falling apart, etc etc. Now he can either choose to do something about it, or not.
We went to dinner tonight after karate and it was just fine. He was making jokes with me, laughing and smiling and comfortable with me. We got in the car and Sydney started in again about how she wants her mommy and daddy to get married again so she can see it... I know he can be happy, he just has to choose to be happy. Or, a better word actually, content.
