Thanks for your insights. I have been following your stich as well. Quite a few similarities, except my wife has physically left .
I couldn't agree with you more on the time factor. I also do not want to rush things at this point. It's very difficult to be so patient, but becoming a better father and future partner are things that take time
Like your W, my W has had several issues predating us, as well as when we were together. In her mind, her IC will be done when she doesn't blame me for everything. This tells me she recognizes that she has a responsibility in what has happened. But right now, she said previously, she is skeptical that we can bring out the best in each other. Sounds very similar to your sitch
Meanwhile her escape to her A in relationship Disneyland continues, and I just focus on myself and the kids. As easy as that is
Thanks again for your insight, and best of luck with your continued DB ing!
