right now it's a waiting game. i am thinking that once my 12 yr old gets into hs then i will tell her i am leaving.

i do not want to discuss this topic anymore because it ends up in a major fight, and she easily manipulates the situation by saying that i live in a hollywood dream, that this is normal in every marriage, that i get it once a month and that's probably more than many other husbands out there--and it'a qualitative, and if i don't like it, then there's the door, and that i am never satified. stupidly, i usually turn around and wind-up agreeing with her probably because i see how angry i made her, and realize that i now have created the wall of silence, which always happens whenever she gets mad at me. the wall of silence can last for days--which drives me nuts!
