Detached, but not Broken-a diary of a LRT

[Yasu]

I think you need to give her some time to seriously miss you. She can't have the pleasure of your company, and also do whatever she's doing, or shouldn't be doing. (Help me remember, Broken, what exactly was the reason she put you out? I'd like to re-virus that in comparison to current situation).

And DBer's - what is Broken to do with these multiple texts? Obviously, keep it business - and kid related. But when there are so many (because this young lady is not used to being "ignored").

One more point, Broken. As I read this post, and the conversations with your wife, I got the distinct impression you were trying to tempt your wife with a better life, with no money problems, like she deserves (manipulating/control). My guess is that if she capitulates to your wishes, then it will be ok for her
financially.

That is no less than a bribe. You have to quit trying to buy love. Put money in the bank for the kids education. And don't talk about. Don't tell her about the changes. You more than anyone needs these 180 rules.

Cheryl, and your DB posse will direct you. I wll re-read your thread, as I have difficulty holding information in my mind. Yas
