I am having trouble keeping hope alive for this MR. As I am detaching, and feel what I feel I look to what wife must be feeling towards me and knowing she is months if not years ahead of detaching its is scary. It just seems the longer it goes on the less a chance for us to R.
I also see that her picture in her head months ago of how everything was going to work out is almost coming true now. She was seeing us living like her relative, they have been separated for 20 years and lived in separate houses and the houses are walking distance from each other. They have a platonic relationship as far as I know and there is no one else in each other lives.
This is something I have no interest in.
So things are moving slow with the house, have not received another real offer since the first strong one we received the day it was listed.
W lawyer is pushing to get me to sign the S papers. W is putting the deposit on her house this week.
I go see my house this week to measure rooms to help determine what furniture I will be taking. Not sure if I should take the kids yet as I don't get the place until a couple of months. That is a long time to wait for a kid. W has already told kids where my house is near there school. I think she should have asked me before she said that.
yesterday W had her weight loss meeting and was home really late. S7 had a melt down and was saying he hated his family, I asked why and he said because his mom slapped him, I asked where, he said in the face when she was putting him in time out.
I texted W to ask if she did slap him, she said no. and then I just told her that I didn't think so but I wanted to let her know what S7 said.
I hope I did the right thing, as I see no mark on his face and I talked to him and said I am sure she slapped you by mistake and that no one should be hitting you, no one is aloud to hit anyone, that is why there is no hitting at school and at home. If someone hits you do what you just did and tell me or your teacher. I told him I would talk to his mom about it.
W basically said that we can expect more of him telling stuff like that now that we are S more.
So this does make the dad in me worried, when we are S I wont be there to watch out for them. I don't think she did hit him but still it came out of his mouth.
So this morning W is telling me about the new car she is getting with leather and fully loaded and its less then what we are paying now. She said bi-weekly, but we pay monthly now. I didn't say anything to her. Not sure If I care. If she wants to trade in a three year old car and get an new one and pay almost double that her mistake to make. We drove the other day to get groceries and the brakes are smoking and she is like what is that smell? It your brakes I said. She said I told you about that months ago. I just ignored that. Not my car not my problem. I used to fix all the cars, wait till she gets a $400 bill to fix the brakes. Its sad but I am not fixing her car anymore.
