Ahhhh yes, I too share so much of your story. I do everything with my kids as a single dad. When I have the kids I wish my EW was with us. I send her photos of all the activities I do with the kids.
I too was doing better until recently. I had been keeping it pretty professional between us. I found that some of my anger had demished so I started acting loving towards her. Sometimes she was even caring back. That is when the problems started to come up. I guess I wanted more and started to have expectations. Whenever I did that she would go cold.
My kids are doing really well. The truth is sometimes they actually like the situation. They realize that they lead different lives with each of their parents and they appreciate that. My 7 year old daughter likes that she lives in 2 different houses. My 5 year son does not even remember mommy and daddy being together.
I can't even imagine how tough it must be for you to have your husband still interacting with your family but not interested in working on your marriage. At least my EW stays out of our lives.
No I have not started dating. I just can't seem to have any interest in that. Maybe my selfworth has taken a big hit. My favorite date is to go out alone with my daughter.
I too look back on my EW and rember the person I fell in love with. She is no longer that person.
Well, we go day by day now and all support each other anyway we can. I have read so many books since all of this has happened. I end up helping all my friends now with relationships and being a parent. I wish I could apply that knowledge to my own relationship. The truth is my EX just does not "see" any of it.
