Men 9 you have been getting some pretty solid advice but the drama continues.
I can't even begin to imagine the confusion, pain, and agony that is going on in your family right now from all angles.
Listen buddy I think you need to put reconciliation OUT of your mind right now. Your W of almost 20yrs is having a hard time add in the mental state and you have your hands full.
Be a friend, JUST a friend to this woman because right now that is what she needs.
I did a little reading on bipolar disorder and it is a challenge to say the least.
The one common theme I keep seeing 9 is take your time and take it one day at a time.
She is the mother of your children and you have shared a long history with her, for that reason and that reason ONLY you need to be a friend.
Kind, Compassion, and understanding is all you need to show.
After so many months of wishing, wanting, and waiting I imagine you want to let your mind race and immediately start to look for ways to fix the situation.
Don't.
Just slow it down for everyone including yourself.
You also deserve to be happy so please don't make any decisions for the time being.
Slow and steady wins the race my friend.
We sit here and read your words but if we close our eyes for a second and imagine what is going on in your life it becomes very real, specially for those of us that have come to know and admire 9.
I echo the comment Harrier made..........You are a good man
You will make the right choices, when the time comes.
