I just need to set a boundary for the friend-zone, but how is that done? Maybe spending over a week away from her will make things better...I hope so.
Refuse the Demotion .... I took this route. I am a General Manager at the company I run .... if the owners (wife) told me I was now demoted to make the coffee I would calmly tell them to fire me as I would not take that position. I told my W the same, I would co-parent to the best of my ability in interest of our son but in no fantasy land would I be her buddy/pal/ear ... I am the prize, total package kind of guy ... all or nothing.
