I actually saw this coming (her needing to come back) a long time ago and kinda planned for it. The way she was going, it was just a matter of time before she strug herself up good. I am a negotiator at heart and have been known to be a "visionary." I usually see the big picture and try to plan for the different senarios, just to be safe. But like everyone else, I get caught up in the small things at times and my vision gets clouded, so I come to consult with others.
That is part of the reason that she left me. We were going through a rough time with job schedules, having D1, and having date time limited (the classic 1st year child struggle). The thing was that I saw that the problem was temporary, but she didn't and she thought I was not validating her point of view because at the time I could not change my job schedule, nor could we get babysitting help to have date nights. The date nights we did included baby and were not romantic enough for W at the time.
Any way got to go to a meeting.
