You’ve a copy of DR and are reading it, good. Read it again, and again. Another read is the 5 LLs. Do you know what his love language is? Do you know what yours are?

IMO and only MO not having enough sex or not having passionate enough sex is a smoke screen. I suspect there is more and drilling to the root cause will take effort and time.

Make this weekend an opportunity to act as if. Do your best to have a good time with the kids and do not hide the good time. Do not wave it under his nose as that will seem manipulative and likely cause problems. Rather have the good time and exude the happiness it brings.

Be the happier better choice, become the person only a fool would walk away from.
