Hey OTW,

I am going to answer you on here as my thread is needing a new one.

I get it too. I have some time to give it as so much is changing right now.

You want a normal relationship, you deserve a normal relation ship.

You have done the work and now you want the reward.

You want the answer so that you can have the life you want right now. You don't want to move on unless you are divorced, and you are not right now. YOu don't want to consider looking at other woman until you are divorced.

You see no benefit to how the separation is right now, and it unbalanced. When you have the kids W tags along but when she has the kids she does not invite you.

Maybe that is what you are wanting or need to talk about. Balance. How you would like to see more sharing of time with the kids including when W has the kids. You would like to see initiative from W to invite you a couple of times. Is that what is happening?
