Man, it will kill my W if she saw our son that little when we were living apart. But every wife/mom is different. I can say a lot of things about my W but the one thing she is is a wonderful mother.

My wife has tremendous guilt right now about breaking up the "family." She flat out told me that and that is a huge reason why we're living under the same roof again. She doesn't want me to only see the kids 3-4 days/week and vice versa.

Our situations are incredibly similar. My W is 6 years younger than I am. We met when she just was about to turn 21 and got pregnant 6 months later. A question, is your W enjoying the extra freedom that being apart from you and your son gives her? My W DEFINITELY enjoyed greater freedom to do and talk to whomever she wanted while we weren't living together. To quote her, "I'm starting to wonder whether or not I got married too you and I want to be able to enjoy life on my own for once."

Part of me can't blame her. I'm a family man and enjoy my family but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a blast when I was 18-25 years old.

Also, I have been working on anger issues as well but only started IC a month ago. My wifes big hangup is that she doesn't feel "safe" around me even though I've never physically hit her (but obviously it hurt her emotionally).

Crazy how similar our timelines and situations are (other than my wife being a model mother throughout our issues).
