Hi IronMan, I have some answers for you. 1) Right now she has more money than I do, no thanks to me being unemployed. She directly and indirectly lords that fact all the time. She wants to separate the accounts because this is part of separation/divorce protocol.
2) Because of her zero trust in me, she doesn't trust me with anything - our son, finances, helping her transition out of this marriage, my GALs/changes/180s. Believe me, I give my most as a father to my son (doing fun, new, creative things), while never badmouthing his mom to him, or putting her in negative light. I'm more stern but I've mushed up a bit lately. I have to realize sometimes that at the end of the day there's still that "mommy's boy" dynamic she and my son share. If we all still together, it wouldn't bother me one bit, but now when he "prefers" mom, I feel like another person in this family is slowly walking out of my life. I know that's not the case, but it really hurts sometimes.
