next time skip the blamejustification game she is playing.

You know what you had issues with. The rest is just to pad the reasoning why she is right and you are wrong.

Own your own issues and work on them.

And just put this conversation away. As it is to counter your victory in reclaiming being a father in your childrens lives.

You will catch on to this ebb and flow from her and in the future you will be able to lead the conversation away from that.

Working too much to get ahead is no justification for her actions.

It is just an excuse.

I have faith in you that you are on the right path. Skip the R talks in the future until you are at a point where you know it does not matter one way or another if she is your wife.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
unconditional love is awesome!
