Welcome to catch-22

[Big Bruce]

You mentioned that you GAL activities were a complaint. How big of a problem was that? What else did your W complain about? Or was that it?

Not being family minded (Sports) was the main complaint. She never really complained or talked about it before, but two evenings a week I was at the sports club, and on the week-ends often out.
But more than doing things it was my attitude about it. Zilch for the baby, all my talk was: I have a match coming up, and oh I want a new shotgun, and I'm gonna buy this new paraglider and have you seen this harpoon.. etc..

She also mentioned finances in her bomb email, but it's never been a problem. What she meant was I spent the money for my fun when she probably wanted me to put the money in an Education Savings account.. for the baby...

I have addressed these two issues by reaffirming that I was family minded, and of course, not showing her too many activities I'm doing ( I mentioned a couple though).
And by saying I want to open an account for our son.
There.

Now, I appreciate all the advice saying I have to be patient, but in comparison to the offence, the punishment is too heavy. We've been apart for 6 months in two continents, then she threw the email bomb, I arrived in the country right after (remember I'm French) and we've been separated for 5 months!

Her being mad and wanting D is not proportional to my "misbehaviour". I asked for forgiveness, which she says she has granted, and I changed my ways, but then, what else is she waiting for for Pete's sake?

So, I'm not a family man? Fine, I filed for custody. Now I'm gonna have the toddler 50% of the time, and we'll see who's the family man.
And I'm bad at finances? Fair enough, I'm gonna put 2000$ a month in that stupid Education account, until the account tops up if that's what she wants!
