Sorry MrBond, It's not quite like that.

W never said that she didn't want to see D8. She always left it up to me as to who D8 would be with. She always said that if I wanted to leave the country and have my freedom, she would take care of D8 but if I wanted D8 with me ( here or in my own country) it was Ok with her. W doesn't live with other man but in a "female only" boarding house.

As I said before, in this country, I have no legal rights. In the event of a Divorce, W automatically gets full custody, if she chooses.

I don't disagree but I also believe that W is going through MLC and that she is not at all herself right now. I haven't yet read DR (I will pick it up at my friend's tomorrow as it just arrived today)and I don't want to make the situation worse at this point.

I feel like you see me as a doormat right now, and frankly, I also at times feel like one but I still believe that I can save this if I play my cards right. I believe DBing might work and that is why, until I have read the book, I need to keep things as good as possible and not push her further away. OM will eventually lose his attraction, I know he will and then, I might have a chance at getting things to move forward positively with W. But, as everyone says around here, I have to be patient, and I'm being patient.

D8 is now only with me because W "allows" it to be this way. I can't be making waves right now.

At this point, I'm convinced that if I gave W an ultimatum, she would file for divorce right away.
