Fair enough about the couples counseling. I agree at this point it is not an option. She is done with me and frankly I am done with her. In her mind she has moved on. In my mind she has moved on. Now I just need to convince myself to move on too.
We have tried the family counseling and the kids are OK. They have adjusted the best out of all of us.
My goal is now to just get through this awful process with as much dignity as I can maintain. I will try to be polite and cordial but it is really really hard to do.
I just wish she would drop the phony we will be the happy family we already are BS. If she drops that I will stop suggesting any type of counseling.
How about that for a deal.
I was just hoping for a miracle that she would want to not throw away our 20 year marriage and our two beautiful kids. I guess that was the wrong thing to say. No, you can't make someone love you. I get that.
