Obviously this is heartbreaking for me. The 4 of us have a great dynamic when we're together, and still do in spite of recent events. But I'm committed to the idea that the emotional welfare of our kids comes first. Ultimately I'm hoping for a reconciliation, but if my W doesn't have a change of heart, this family will need to be ready to face the process of breaking up. In other words, I hope for the best, but I plan for the worst.
Chris73,
Thanks so much. This is very encouraging. I'm glad that you and your W agree on this arrangement. It gives me hope that my W and I will be able to do the same. While I say that I won't stand in the way of my W's decisions, I also say that I'm not willing to give up seeing my kids every day. W has been agreeable, but some here have given words of warning that things will change when either of us get involved in another relationship. Have you and your W discussed what will happen in that future scenario?
