sandi, I'd actually really appreciate your advice and take on the situation. Does me kind of forcing my wife to share responsibility of our son (rather than her leaving him at me 100% of the time) combined with getting my own life and working on bettering myself make sense? and if her uncle is not complicit in this, realizes what is happening and backs off a bit, do you think it's possible she will come around (of course, if he is complicit than that won't matter, but I get the feeling this is a one-sided attraction that he is unaware of).
