I know the bottom line is that I was dealing with some really dark junk inside and never felt like my wife could/would listen to me. OW was a breath of fresh air when I desperately needed somebody to talk to and it went way too far.
I'm interested in what you said about no contact labug. I tried a 180 last Friday. I felt like I had been giving in to everything W was asking and things were getting worse. So I packed up my stuff and moved back into the house. I had been gone for about 3 weeks at her request. W hasn't been back home since, but we have exchanged some texts, emails and calls. She agreed for me to spend the weekend with our D-4. I know I need to back off, but I don't want to cease contact with my daughter in the process.
