I don’t tell her and I’m not actually unhappy without my H. It’s just that I’ve been a bit down generally over the past week and she’s put it down to the M breakdown which isn’t really the reason.
I’ve sat all the kids down and explained to them the reason why I’ve filed for D and that although I’m sad about the break-up I’m not unhappy. I explained that I had the choice of 1. Staying M whilst my H had an affair and living in limbo or 2. Getting D and moving on with my life. I’ve said that getting D was the lesser of the two evils. Told them I had enough respect for myself not to put myself in a situation where i was living in an open M.
S o she understands where I’m coming from. I’ve had a bit of time to think about this logically now and have come to the conclusion that she’s simply playing one parent off against the other, which is nothing new she did it when she was young and we were still together. In a a week or two I’ll be the good guy again.
