Glad you found your way here, Rob. Sadly, your story is very common to see in our world today. People have too much on their plates and something usually gets neglected b/c there are not enough hours in a day for everything.
When I was reading your post about what you told your W, upon hearing about her EA, I was reminded of how I've heard wives of doctors tell a similar experience. Many spouses either work while the other one is going to school, or they run the household and childcare. Then low and behold the one who was getting their professional degree informs the spouse who supported them...that they want out of the M.
I can only imagine the affect her absence has had on the children, and how it will show through later. But that's another subject for another time. Right now, you are needing support. You'll get it here on the DB board, if you'll continue to post.
I am impressed with your 180's and hope you continue to follow the "rules" (as there are called), until there's a change.
We encourage all newcomers to read Divorce Remedy or Divorce Busting to understand the writer's principles and what it is we all discuss here.
This can be turned around, Rob. I was once a WW in an EA and I credit this board to helping me find my way back. Since it's mostly geared for the LBS, just think how much it will help you!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
