Hello

[714Dad]

I mentioned it previously, but the thing that is so doubly frustrating is how for at least a year if not two she would constantly tell me that i had to choose to be happy, that no one else could do it but me.

Now she is so angry and bitter toward me. At the beginning of June we were talking about camping. Now she hates me. It's just so hard to fathom.

I was really sick in April for almost three weeks. toward the end she was sitting next to me on the floor and i was weakly joking with her trying to cheer her up as she sobbed about not wanting to lose me.

Now I feel like I have whiplash.

I agree that I deep down feel that she should come around. I'm not bitter yet I don't think. I still feel unconditional love for her. I still just want her to be happy. But I am frustrated and really hurt that she went this route at all.

As I said, a low conflict marriage, same philosophy of education and most of life, same religion, agree on ways of raising children, agree mostly politically, good physical chemistry, happy healthy children - and she wants to "focus on my career. ILYBNILWY. I want to be on my own."

i'm a broken record, but i just still can't get over it. incredulous is the only word i have for it.

two children cut away from a parent for half the year. no more teamwork. no more holidays. no more of what life is - being around other people and family and love and warmth.

why did she even marry me if she even entertained this idea?

all rhetorical. just harping. still not even an month and a half in. and seeing her yesterday was just too much.
