Jim,

You’re afraid to drive her away. WTF? Jim this is game over for a very, very long time. Most likely forever! Once this is behind you, you won’t believe you put up with this BS for so long.

Short, strong “I want you out of the house”. Stop looking at this as a tactical game. She doesn’t respect you and at best sees you as a friend. You want to earn her respect, throw out her cheating a$$.

You have to forgive yourself for neglecting her in the past. When you get married no one gives a manual on how to be the perfect husband.

IMO too much detail for kids. You’re still making excuses for her A.

Lastly, Tony Robbins says you’re the biproduct of the 5 people you spend the most time with. One of your number one goals should be to make new friends!
