I am still going ahead with the dissolution...why is it so difficult to stop second-guessing myself is what I wonder? I couldn't agree more with everything robx said. Why the second thoughts? I know in DR it is very pro-marriage, so maybe I still have this illusion that there is an answer to the problem that I just don't see. Then I tell myself, yeah, the first part of that answer is for her to give up OM. And not just because I told her too, because she wants to because working on things is more important. Obviously, that is not the case here. It's hard not to think though there is some solution. Furthermore, since OM will have a presence in my daughter's life, this voice in my head keeps challenging me: "Dude, are you really gonna roll over and let this happen-are you really gonna just let him get into the picture, or remain in the picture really, that easily?"

It's like there is the side of me that is doing the right thing for me, but there is either a moral, or intellectual, or prideful side to me that wants to go against that. I wish I could see this more clearly.
