Wife Said She's Done - Pt. 2 ..and Still Hopeful

[labug]

I don't think it's ever a good idea to make up things when it comes to dealing with...well, anyone.

I've thought about your first post on this subject a lot. I was surprised at the advice you got, especially when there is no custody agreement in place.

My advice had more to do with your sons than your W. I don't think this will cause your W to suddenly change her mind. That doesn't happen. Only you know what is truly a 180 and what is more of the same from you, in interacting with both your W and your sons. Only you know where your work really needs to be.

Perhaps you and W could come up with an agreement for childfree time for each of you, then you would both get your time away from kid duty, an extension of you talking with her about the picking up from school duties. How did that discussion go?

No matter what happens with your M, you and your W are in a R for the rest of your lives. At the center of that are your sons. You are now showing them how to be a man, how to be a father.

For me exhibiting honor, dignity, respect are more important than a "So there!" to your W.

You have the power here, Scott.
