He replied that he was glad she called bc he missed her too. I replied, "Yes I miss them too when they are with you. Sharing them is difficult." And he replied "Yes it [censored] but that is the way it will be so we will just have to do the best for them that we can"
Doesn't that make you want to scream and shake him!!! "It didn't have to be that way you big A$$!!!!!!!!" That is one of the things that bothers me the most....when my X complains about not getting to see the kids as much as he'd like. well too bad, you made that choice! I don't get to be with them all the time either, but I didn't choose that! He chose OW over our family, so I have no sympathy! And I agree with whoever said it is hard for the spouse who was left, because it wasn't our choice and on some level we will always have some love left there, and always wonder what if..... As we are forced to live with their choice.
