Here is my conflict. I read some things on this board that says I need to be her friend and do everything she needs to get restarted(I could be emotionally seeing the message wrong) I also see that I need to take care of my self but I feel like if I fight her every step of the way and force her out that what kind of a person does that make me?
I know I have to take care of myself, but finding that line between taking care of myself and treating her with respect and dignity and doing what is right by the children is the grey line that I am having trouble seeing.
"...I read some things on this board that says I need to be her friend [b]and do everything she needs to get restarted"
Can I ask who told you that? Probably someone who wants you to live in sadness & limbo for the rest of your life.
Honestly, someone on this site told you to do everything she needs to get started?!
Who?!
You need to take care of yourself and put your needs at the forefront because you can sure that she doesn't have your best interests as part of her plan on leaving you.
