I'm sure it feels good to have this guy in your corner. Sounds like he will make a good case for you. Sorry you have to go through this man. Nobody should ever have to. Your WW has a diseased mind and needs help. So sad. But I think you will be better off moving on. Easy for me to say though - I was married 4 years to your 18 years. Can't imagine what you're going through.
Thanks rdken. I'm sure you have an idea what I'm going through. Four years is still quite a long time and I'm sure it hurts just as bad. With any luck, maybe you won't take quite as long to start moving on. My 18 years is married, but total of 24 together. Over half my life. Still hard to believe it. But I am starting to get there. A few months ago I could not imagine a future w/o WW in it, and was even willing to be "friends" just to be part of her life somehow. All it did was allow her to do extreme cake eating, and I eventually woke up to it, and cut her off. These days, I'm getting very comfortable with not seeing or talking with WW. We text about every other day but strictly about kids for the most part. I see her maybe once every 2-3 weeks. No idea how the future looks with WW, and maybe some day we will be able to start a new R from the ground up as friends, but I wouldn't even want that right now. She's selfish in the extreme, and tends to use friends and burn through relationships like crazy. In fact, my social circle keeps growing in large part due to friendships which WW has left behind, where I'm getting in touch with them and building my own friendship. Life is strange.
