Just re-read my last post and continuing to think about what she just requested...
Good grief... this is a clear example of MLC paranoia and seeing the spouse as the enemy, right? She is interpreting my attempts to provide routine -- and to make up for her absence (coming home late from work on weeknights and sleeping in later every morning because of her own behavior with OW and the A) -- as an attempt to keep her from spending any time with the kids.
Once again -- placing the blame on me instead of looking at herself and her own behaviors and thinking "Huh, maybe I should try to get home a little earlier and maybe I shouldn't be having an EA that keeps me up at odd hours of the night... Maybe, if i want a relationship with my kids, I should make some changes..."
God forbid my MLC W take a look at herself and see how she is creating a situation she doesn't like...
If it sounds like I am seething with anger, I am. But I can't explode at her, because: "pressure" and "don't care what you think or feel anyway"
