He doesn't make any effort to talk about anything "us" related at all and he is ignoring (I think) the affect this is having on our daughter. He think she just needs more discipline and I think she needs more attention. Is that normal? I realize in my situation, where I was the WAW at one point and now he is the WAH, but I always thought about the effects on my daughter. I am trying to remember that I was essentially in his shoes at one point (altho I did not have another man, I did have another woman (friend) who I was going to to support my emotional needs. I'm trying to enlarge my circle of friends - joined a book club! But most of my true friends are married to "his" friends - we have been together for 15 years. Some are very supportive but I don't want to put them in any position where they are hiding or sharing things with their husbands which could get back to mine.
I really am confused about how to act right now and I just want to "be myself". I've been here, kind, friendly and attentive for the past 3 weeks and that's not working. On Monday he's going away for work for a week, which is good in a way because he won't be around OW. I don't know if I should keep in touch with him or not. So confusing
