Read carefully what 25 commented to you. In many of your responses, your pride still shines through.
That's why your W hasn't been trusting in your changes. Plus, you never mentioned that you lost so many jobs. Like the escorts, it does seem like it was a matter of you doing what you want and not considering a woman's basic need for security (incl. financial security) of her and her children.
THIS^^^ IS GOLDEN advice Mind's. Feeling secure is mandatory for a woman to stay in a marriage.
Some women stay in mediocre marriages solely b/c the man is a good provider. So taking that security away or undermining it, by losing jobs or mismanaging money, is a deal breaker for many. Add to that, the escorts and you can see her point of view a bit more, yes?
Absolutely I do. Even with this new job, she fears that I just treat it like my old jobs (more of the same - negative).
