You nailed it. My W has even said when my D2 starts asking questions we should sit down and decide what we are going to tell her. I told her I was going to tell her I didn't want this and I did everything I could. I'm not going to lie for you. Now, I know I just can't trash my W in front of my D2 but she wants it to be the stereotypical "oh we just grew apart" FALSE, I will NOT say that.

And it absolutely is the coward's route. I'm a humble guy but I easily fixate on the lack of character my W has shown in this situation, I have to stop and remind myself of what I have done in this situation. I can stand proud and truly look at myself in the mirror and know I did what was right, I didn't take the easy way out, even though this journey isn't over I KNOW I will continue to be proud of what I did or didn't do. I'm sure our W's HATE that we aren't stooping to their level and we aren't taking their bait. Actions speak louder than words and I won't let her hateful, disrespectful, spiteful words affect how I act as a man and father.

We have to be the lighthouse. Oooooooo its tough sometimes though.
