Rocked - thank you. Of course you are right. I never saw it before, I thought it was me being a good/loving husband by accepting the bad moods and pressing ahead. Never realized it would lead to this.
I am committed to no more. I really am.
Didn't have any of that to deal with last night. We kind of just pulled together as a family and dealt with the kids/dog. She was very friendly/respectful all night. We hung out with the kids, then some friends came over to see the dog, then W suggested we watch some TV which we did till we were falling asleep, then to bed. She didn't turn to me for any support over the dog sitch and I didn't offer any.
Thanks for the hugs. Big thanks. We've had him for 11 years, got him before we had kids...it was sad to post something on facebook and his pic last night...
W is now debating waiting till Monday to put him down. She is involving me in the decision process and I am fine with Monday...one more weekend. It doesn't help with my detaching, but if it helps my older daughter which I think it will, then so be it.
Last night actually gave me some more resolve to try to work this out. Seeing how devasated D8 was over losing a dog, I can't imagine giving her a talk on why we won't be togehter as a family any longer. Not fun.
