Couldn't agree more. I was by no means perfect H, but I didn't do anything worthy of this. Amazes me how WW downplays the affair they had. Sad they can shift the blame to H

Haha, man I feel like you are the voice in my head. I think the same thing. Only potential issue I have right now is she wants to be primary custodian, I'm not OK with that. I don't mind a 50/50 true joint custody but my W has shown when she says "Let's do what is best for D2 she is really saying, let's do what is best for ME!"

I said the same thing to my W, she just said "we are past that point" I have been much better at detaching. Oh man it is hard though mainly not allowing her to upset me or to ruin my mood. You are absolutely right the BEST thing for D2 is to fight for our marriage and teach her it's hard, but it's worth it. All she is teaching her right now is to shift the blame when you make mistakes and when things get tough you should just toss in the towel and move on. Sad.
