Keep Wearing Wedding Band? [Thread #9]

[ForGump]

Yes, I find that the negotiating process pushes us apart farther. I have tried to understand it from her perspective though. And in my situation, at least, I think she's driven by a sense of insecurity and (so far) just a ... low/developing ability to run her life as an independent adult in our society. So, after my initial distaste for it all, I settle into a place of sympathy and wishing her well.

My Mom responded well to my BD. She was sympathetic and supportive, and was ready to dash over (from far away) to help. But I told her I need a few weeks to transition, then she'd be welcome to visit.

The issue of my W's choice in men keeps coming up because she feels a high level of anxiety about our older one starting to date... because she's only dated a$$holes and I'm the only decent guy. That makes me wonder what I'll do w/r/t my kids if she starts dating a$$holes again. I will have to confront her if the kids are exposed to her a$$hole boyfriends.
