When I first got the news a couple weeks ago I actually took it pretty calmly and was super supportive good guy... and her response was more along the lines of "see things are already getting better". She was taking it as if we where going to have a better relationship, I was afraid I was encouraging the breakup. I can't make her think things are going to better after separation.
Then it really hit me... and the pleading and begging lasted a few days.
I think I need to find a way to be at my best without encouraging her that things will be this way after the split. They will not be, I'm sure.
Because of some of her "baggage" the settlement or court proceedings will get messy, but I will have to use everything to get what is best for my kids. I don't really see us having much time.
