I thought everything was okay....(Part 4)

[MCS]

V,

I haven't headed over to your thread to see what's up, but glad you're back. I also agree, I probably answered her a little to quick as I was going through email from work and just answered her without much thought. It something I need to look out for because as Mozza said, the 'business-like' attitude is something I've wanted her to change.

To add more to my MC above (there's a lot to cover.) we started out talking about the kids and after actually discussing some petty (my view) stuff about her changing the kids schedule so we both had exactly the same number of days, we
got to the point we both were in agreement that we need to put "us" aside and focus on what's best for the kids. It was really good progress. We then talked about our M for about 45 minutes. I guess that's a backslide too, but even though that was painful for both of us it was progress.

MC actually asked if we would feel okay walking out together. W and I both sat there for a few moments (I felt I was already pushing too much) then wife got up and left. I had a few quick words for MC and left myself and then just totally lost it in my car. It stinks seeing us both go through this pain and understand the extreme lack of communication that I didn't even identify in our M.
