Wife files D after I confronted her 2nd EA-5

[CWOL]

Been a while since the last update...

My L had to file an RFO to get my child and spousal support payment down. Even being unemployed, my unemployment payment exceed my WW's gross income. I still end up having to pay her $300 a month, which will be enough for 45 minutes of L time! She dragged on settling the RFO until the last minute, then we ended up having to go to court today to settle. Several thousand $ down the drain to settle a stupid matter.

Originally we booked a baseball tournament for S11 at the end of this month. In June, before paying the hotel fees, I confirmed with her and she said it would be fine to stay together for the tournament. Now she refuses to, and wanted to split 3 days for me and 3 days for her. I refused to do that. So now the compromise is that she get her own room and we'll have to pay 1/2 of the total and S11 stays with us 1/2 the time for the trip. OMG I can't believe how terrible my WW has become.

S11 is doing well otherwise, he's doing great at summer school and had an awesome run in LL All-Stars. He was invited to play on a Pony All Stars tournament after LL as well last weekend, and in one game he hit for the cycle! (Home run, triple, single, double, and then a walk!) I am so proud of him and what he has accomplished. During the last weekend he did break down in tears about some small thing but I suspect it's because of the fact that our family is torn apart now. I hurt so much as well when that happened.

I think I was doing a great job of DB until the legal maneuvers last week and the court appearance this morning. It brought all of the negativity back in a flood. During the past month WW refused to reply to most of my texts (all about S11 childcare and other mundane items, nothing about R). In return, I started to give her the same treatment. She then texted me why I didn't tell her about a certain game. I ignored that as well. I've been able to let things roll off my back for the past months, until I had to confront her.

Sigh, it is sad to see my marriage of 18 years crumbling in front of me...
