I think I have read that before. It's too bad my w doesn't have the patience to hold on. For the most part I have a decent job of DBing. I know it isn't final yet, but even if it gets there I hope she will realize that she isn't any happier. And hopefully it isn't too late.

I couldn't possibly agree with this statement any more. We just have to remember that in the end that those of us fighting for our M will hopefully be better people in the end, no matter what happens.

I am with you buddy. My W doesn't have the patience to hold on either, but then I again, she tried for years. In my case, I think that she hit the number where she couldn't forgive again.

Not exactly sure, but I feel I am on the edge of something. I think I might be at the point of really letting go. It is a bit confusing, at the same time it feels good. Almost like I can really start focusing on myself, really start living again. I am positive that it needs to happen. And I am still positive that I love my w and I want my family whole again.

Heres to hoping that I am not posting how miserable I am two days from now.

Letter to my w,

Over the last couple months I have come to truly understand how difficult this has been for you. Certainly not at the same degree, but nonetheless I do understand.
I have been trying to hold on to our marriage and our family, but I feel like all my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. I can only imagine how difficult it was to go through that for so long.

You are an amazing woman and mother, and I will cherish all that you have done for me, and all that you have shown me. I wish you nothing but the best on your quest for happiness. I am always here for you if you need someone to lean on, or just a ear to vent to.

I am really frustrated right now, she literally got upset when I told her that I was going to take my daughter to get her nails done while my son was at a b-day party. She said that is a mom and daughter thing. I said we are both parents now. I think she misinterpreted that and said what she doesn't have a mom. I told her I meant that we each fill both roles now.

2 minutes after she left, she called to see if I had talked to a mediator. I told her I had and said, that since this isn't what I want I will give you the number and you can take it from there. As far as I am concerned the cage does not even exist any longer.

For her sake I hope she can work through her resentment towards me.

And for me I have to figure out how to go as dim as possible in light of our parenting schedule.

Basically, I am in the same position as you are. We have papers filed though, but our county require mediation. I, too, am going as dim as possible with the schedule for the children. I think that this will be good for both my W and me.

I guess she just needed to remind me of how unhappy she is.

Had to call her at work to ask if she had gotten a present for the birthday, again she brought up the painting of my d's nails. I said if it is that important to you, we will find something else to do. Then I get the I save my money, I don't spend it on things like that. I can paint them at home. I just said okay.

Is it normal that I am starting to find humor in this behaivor.

The last couple of interactions were pretty much damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Time to start living for me!

GKM are you out there?
