Your W is going to have to have a rather large does of the reality of D. She expects you to sit in a loveless M for possibly years because of the market? Hmmm.......doesn't sound right to me.
I am not going to do that.
And, she may not have exactly said I didn't put the kids and her before my needs. It may have been that she felt I wasn't looking out for the kids and her. Same type thing though.
