Agree with Starsky, my stomach felt sick reading your responses.

YOU NO LONGER OWE HER ANYTHING

She owes you EVERYTHING

This guy IS after your wife, and your actions keep making him look better and you worse. As far as you two are concerned she's 16 and dating a boy "daddy" doesn't approve of. The more you whine and complaint the more she will rebel.

She plays you like a fiddle blaming everything on you, and you keep falling for it. She will NEVER be nice to you because you give her no reason to.

Not only do you allow her to treat you like dirt, you apologize for getting her mad.

"I hit you because your actions made me do it!!"

Now replace hit with "yell at" and that's where you stand.

Look you made a stand and that's good, but then when she brought out the emotional manipulation you backtracked and ceded ground.

You accuse her of suspiciously acting like she is developing an EA, and by the end she has you apologizing for making her have an innapropriate friendship.

Seriously if her new male friend is SOO much better than you, then she needs to go to him. Oh wait why would she do that when she can have him, and you pay the bills.

Look you are at LRT. No way around it. That's just my humble opinion.
