Hi JellyB - thank you for the time you took to write all that. I considered what you had to say, and I've already been there and done that. I chased her around the globe and tried to do it, and it didn't work. My wife just doesn't like me anymore. Moments before I left (she didn't know) I gave my daughter a hug, and kissed my wife on the cheek and I walked out. For two weeks she did not call or send me a single message to ask where I was. And I have asked if I can return to the U.S. and live in the same city, and she has said 'NO!' My very presence is a threat to them. I'm tall, educated, smart, capable, an atheist, and can navigate any situation - as opposed to them, little people from the third world, insular, and catholic. Yes, I was attracted to my latina wife for the attributes you mentioned. My Greek mother told me that I should have stayed within my own race, and I think she is right. But anyway, that doesn't help here, as I've already got a daughter that I adore. And I'm afraid of the damage my wife is doing to her because her focus is on HER family rather than OUR family.
Now moving forward, what can I do to get my wife to approach me to start talking. At the moment we only exchange a few words over Skype calls that are largely centred on our daughter seeing her daddy. Other than that, I keep my distance.
