Hi Fellow DB’ers.

What a weekend! I went to pick up my kids and spend a couple hours with them on Father’s Day. I made sure to look my best. A nicely pressed button up shirt, good cologne, etc… My wife even asked me if my shirt was new.

Like Jessica M said in the previous post, it’s just so confusing and I want to make sure I am not doing anything to sabotage things. Some of the comments from my W over the last couple days baffle me. Some of them include:

“I hope you are having a nice time with the kids right now. I know this is really hard and I really, truly hope that you are doing okay!”

“Hang in there... Happy Father’s Day”

“Kids and I have had a nice day alone today. I'll send you some pictures from my phone”

She also called me this morning to go over some logistics and to let me that our son is having a tough time with all of this. W started to cry when I was opening up gifts from the kids yesterday and she did the same when she called me this morning.

I feel her comments are genuine however when she makes statements like “hang in there, I know it’s hard, I hope you’re doing ok” It just makes me wonder, because I don’t show her that I am hurting. I am just over analyzing the comments but I don’t want W to pity me and they are comments that seem to allude that I am down in the dumps, why that might be so, I do a darn good job acting “as if”, that I have GAL and that things are good. I would love some outsider input of what to make of this? Thanks for any feedback.
