He's figuring out -- deep down -- that he's failing as a dad. I mean he cheated and walked away from a wife willing to forgive. Now he doesn't get to see his kids very much and in his head this can't be all his fault. So he blames you. Unfortunately, you may always be the reason he is unhappy.

I have the feeling I may always be the reason STBXW is unhappy. It can't be her job or her mom or her sister or her own depression issues. It has to be someone other than herself that is to blame for her lot in life.

It'll probably be me forever -- unless someone else is foolish enough to overlook all those issues and marry her.

I'm guessing you'll toughen up over time.
