I really think that when things settle down, you two will bond. For now, you can focus on you being the kind of man you would want your daughters to spend their time with.



It's been nearly 4 months since our separation! Give her some more time! OK. Sometimes, I guess, stuff like this takes much, much longer than I think it should! Makes sense what you said about teaming up with mom and all (hormones, insecurities, boys) . But why did this only start after the separation?

I hope we will bond, and I hope things will settle down. That's a good thing to shoot for aliveandkicking..."focus on being the kind of man I would want my daughters to spend time with." Thanks for that point of view!
