Glad you guys had a pleasant day even though it didn't meet your expectations. Remember, we're not supposed to expect anything from the WAW except the unexpected.

I wish she would wake up. She knows she should fix things and that that is the right answer. But she is too stubborn to give in to what she knows is right.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I am quickly gaining speed on catching up with you in my sitch because my W won't "wake up" either. I haven't done enough to stand up for myself and my family. It is up to us to take action. You have done a whole lot more than I have in that area, so I'm not in a good place to give advice, but being Mr. Nice Guy never seems to work. Look at all you did to make a great day for your family. Did she appreciate it at all? No. You gave it a shot, I don't blame you at all. Don't be too disappointed in her reaction. To know your kids and even in-laws had a good day should make you feel good about yourself. Hats off to you-you tried. She doesn't care right now. Maybe she never will.

All I can do is keep pounding. And try not to give up even though it seems pointless at times.
Yes. If you have the patience. I want my W to see how I've changed and learned about myself. She doesn't care. It sucks. I'm not telling you anything new. You know my sitch well, I have a lot of the same feeling that you do and have tried a lot of the same things. It hasn't worked for me, either. If your trying not to give up, take your time and be patient. Don't go out of your way to do anything nice for her. Be the great Dad that your kids know and deserve.
Continued blessings and prayers. Take care of yourself!
