I have the same issues since July 5th. I am not wired to be a part time Dad. I feel like I am missing out on everything.
My wife has become the most cruel, nasty person I have ever met. You can read my threads and see the progression I make, then I fall back to basically Day 1. I still cry after she picks them up, and I'm home alone again. It doesn't get easier.
You have to remain strong, hope that something will work out. I still hold out hope our kids will mean enough to her to want to defog and work on the family again.
The problem with the WAW, they can rationalize this, and already made their decision. I think it's much different than when a man walks away.
You just have to hope and wait for a defog.....I don't see it happening for me, but you still have a chance.
