Blindsided, Just served with papers!

You're going backward.

Every time you get into these negotiations with her, you lose ground.

I thought the rental house was for YOU?

You need to decide what YOU are going to do, and then let her figure out what she is going to do on her own.

she let me be the way that made her unhappy

She let you? Really? I guess she is aware she has more control over you than you do.

And what did she let you do? Make her unhappy? Ha! She let you not make her happy? hahahahaha.

Dude, stop being gullible.

It's not your job "to make her happy". That's HER job. You're job is to make YOU happy, be a good father, and not treat your wife like crap or take her for granted.

She's not supposed to take you for granted either, but she DOES.

Stop letting your emotions dictate your decisions. Use a more-objective "what is right" kind of criteria to base your decission making on.

I am wondering how much of her "unhappiness" comes from just knowing that she can push you around and treat you badly, and you will take it and cave in?
