The adventure continues--the saga goes on

[AFWAW]

Hoop,
Yep, I've got a 4 day weekend. My D is spending the night w/ a friend. I'm not blaming myself for everything--I know that would be stupid. The wife just doesn't want to be married anymore and is willing to hold on to every little thing that I've done wrong so she can justify what she's doing. We had one last relationship talk yesterday and I feel it's probably our last one. She brought up a lot of old stuff that she can't seem to let go but stated that she still wanted to do stuff as a family like go hang out at the beach. I told her that if this was the route she chose then this would not be happening and if not for me, why would she not come home and work on this for our daughter--she said, I know, I'm a piece of sh*t.

I am very, very disappointed w/ this chapter in my life but I don't have a lot of control w/ regard to what's going on in it right now. So far, my daughter's quality of life has not suffered one bit. I will ensure that she has quality teenage years if she wants them.

I'll let my lawyer review the paperwork and advise me appropriately.

do not let this sour you on love and life. As many have told you on this board...you are a great man with many accomplishments. An incredible daughter, house, material items, few debts, retirement soon (if you wish), promotion is probable, etc.

I appreciate this. It sure is funny how your priorities change though and you wish you could have the one thing back that you don't have anymore. I really, really wish there was something I could say or do to get her back.
