It is very surreal to be home with D, putting her to sleep, doing all of the wonderful father duties while her mother is who knows where, drinking at a bar with other men hitting on her? That behavior is NOT normal.
OK picture yourself as being divorced and single again. This woman who cruises bars getting drunk and sleezing around with strange men, does that sound like someone you would be interested in an R with? I think this is perhaps one of the hardest concepts for people here to wrap their minds around- your old W is gone and this is your W now. Is it even someone you want to be married to or have anything to do with beyond being co-parents? Something to contemplate.

How does it seem that all of my other friends on FB have happy families
I promise you, they don't. People like to paint pretty pictures of their crap lives on FB to make others jealous of them. It's the strangest thing, people will bitch and complain to you in person about their SO but then on FB they paint a very rosy picture. That's social media for you.

For those of you who have done this for much longer than myself...PLEASE tell me this gets easier!
Absolutely. You really will get to the point where you just won't care where your W is and what she is doing and who she is with because she will cease to be a factor in your life. You will be too busy being awesome to worry about her. And if she ends up being too stupid and/ or stubborn to change her mind about you then you will have another SO in your life that'll make you wonder why you thought you needed W back so bad.
