I don't remember your legal sitch, if you're using a base L or what, but I would highly recommend at least an initial consultation with a good family law atty, preferably one who specializes in "men's rights" and paternal custody.


She's agreed to give me everything--I think the only reason I would need a lawyer is if she wants joint custody? I'm waiting to see what she says on that.

In addition to the detached "battle mode" I mention above, it will really help you if you can try to think of your wife as an ADDICT.


Yep, she admitted that yesterday and said she doesn't want to give it up.

This doesn't excuse her choices, but it will help you treat her with detached compassion, and will help you hold on to what's left of your love for her in case she repents and comes around. It does happen, and you'll be glad you treated her well.

I honestly don't feel that much love for her right now based on last night's conversation. I will continue to treat her well but it will probably be more business like.


Thanks for the hug, Puppy, back at you.
