Wayward Wife and the Way of LRT Pt. 2

[Defacto]

GB,
Thanks again for the support. You have been a friend to me through this miss. Sending a virtual Fat Tire your way, brother.

Now is not the time to be congratulating myself, but I do feel that it went fairly well. I did and said all the things I wanted to do. I wanted to have fun together with the kids. And per W's text message, she enjoyed it too. It is hard to ignore that there was talk of D and of W looking at new houses but I just have to take all of that in stride.

You bring great points about child custody that I haven't considered. However, one reason I don't want child custody to get contentious is that the kids deserve the possible situation if this leads to D. And the best possible situation for them, I believe, requires W and I to have a workable relationship. If I fight for majority custody, which I feel like I might be justified to do, I don't believe it ends well for a co parenting relationship of W and I post divorce. Plus, I know W will resort to those bogus accusations against me that she was throwing around days after I exposed the A to OM's W. We'll see though. Everything is certainly fluid right now. It all depends on what is those pending D papers.

As far as my approach towards W is concerned, I really don't think I need to change anything. W is obviously not wanting to work on M. I just need to continue to move forward on self improvement and detachment. I need to be the best father I can to my wonderful kids. If W calls or I see W, I will be confident, calm, and cordial, yet I will be vulnerable when appropriate.

Am I missing anything?
