AnotherStander - I can relate for sure. We only have 1 S and live 20 minutes drive from each other. I'm trying to detach and actually get a couple of days without contact, but it seems there is always something to discuss or arrange. It has only lasted a month, but even though we almost exclusivly get in contact for "business" I don't think there have been 2 consecutive days without contact.
I talk, listen and listen. When it seems we're finished talking business I say goodbye. Beardown I sometimes feel the same way, just today actually. It's like she thinks I'm doing HER a favor by having S when I'm not really scheduled to. I basically just told her "hey, I don't have any plans and of course I want to spend as much time with S as possible", her plans was cancelled and she said I didn't need to have him unless I wanted to. This gave me the opportunity to tell her that I wanted to have him for the sake of spending time with him, nothing else, so it's still on.
Together for 8,5 years. S2 Interest in OM. She left 29.09.12 b/c we couldn't work things out. No signs of OM, not digging. Living in seperate homes, sharing custody.
