GREAT post and thank you for the compliment. I think I'm a pretty good guy and father as well.
One of the issues I am having trouble with now is being able to talk to W. Problem is, I don't WANT to communicate with her and only do so when I HAVE to - kids or $. Yes, I'm still very hurt and angry at what she is doing and the WAY she has done it.
I have complete control of those emotions, but they are there. I know its natural to have no attraction to W given that she is not meeting any of my needs and is doing the opposite.
Is it wrong for me not to communicate with her? I just don't think that's possible right now. And I don't see that changing for a while, if at all. The hurt is just too deep and severe.
