For the past 3.5 years I have been working on becoming a better person, father and hopefully husband. I have addressed my wifes concerns with my inpatience, focus on money, selfishness and relationship with our 3 kids. I was not an easy person to live with because of these factors.
I now have a great relationship with our 3 kids and my wife has told me that I am much nicer person to be around and she recognizes that I am no longer focused on myself or money. Ieven went so far as to lend her parents $50,000 so they could buy a retirement condo. I have tried at various times to try and reconnect emotionally with my wife, but she has built a wall around herself that she will not let come down.
I have focused on GALing through playing hockey and going to the gym 5 times a week. My wife also has a gym membership, but will not go there at the same time as I go.
It has been a long and difficult 3.5 years, but overall it has been worth it as I feel that I am a much better person than when I started this journey.
