Finally got her to admit to the A in front of her therapist. Although she now claims that it wasn't an A until the trip took place... I stumbled over my words and did not clearly articulate back to her that yes, it was -- it was an EA that turned into a PA during the trip...
She also admitted to me that she's held resentment over the years over a lot of family stuff -- long story made short: She's very possessive of her family and I guess she never liked the fact that they embraced me as family and that I embraced them as family... WTF is supposed to happen when two people make a lifetime commitment to one another? No, we were not legally married, but our families didn't seem to care about the legal piece of paper to signify the family bond that we all developed. This shocked me and I am still reeling from this info...
Once again, it is apparent that she gets angry about things, does not communicate about them, and then lets things fester and build to the point where she no longer feels love for me...
She did admit that her possessiveness over her family is not fair to me, and she is very right about that... But she made it clear that she still feels possessive of them regardless of whether or not it's fair to me...
And I know that this has nothing to do with me -- so this is something she will carry on into her next relationship with someone else... For all I know, it might have been an issue in her past relationships as well and she just never admitted it to herself or anyone else.
Arrrrrrrrgggghhhhh.... MLC or not -- I can't meet someone half-way if they NEVER tell me something is bothering them...
Ugh.
So glad she has some work happy hour thing tonight... Also glad the the A and OW are now no longer a secret (at least between us and her therapist)...
But this whole situation just blows... And the more that is revealed to me, the more I understand how unfair all of this is to me and to our kids.
