It sounds like your M is very toxic Mattdad. Honestly I feel for your kids to be stuck in the middle of this.

There's one way you can start fixing this - not cowboy up but grow up. You're ripped and handsome and she is fat and unattractive? That is how you publicly speak about the woman you are fighting for?

You say all you do is tend to your kids 24/7 365 but there's time for smoking and video games?

Take a deep breath, get some perspective. Some real perspective. Your wife is dating and on dating sites, dying her hair, getting tattoos, and disrespecting you. You just disrespected her here in your last statement. You both sound like you've got a lot of growing up to do.

You can't fix her, but you can start being respectful of yourself. Start reading threads on here, start reading all of Cadet's threads and every book that a vet recommends on here. EVERY single book. Then put those books into action. Consistent action.

The changes you make will appear to be bullchit to your wife until she's seen them for so long they are the new normal. Become the gentleman because you want to.
