This will take time and patience, no matter the outcome. You will learn and get better at being patient. Progress will be slow, and non linear (meaning you'll having ups and downs). You need to prepare yourself mentally for this and have no expectations.
And yet every time I think of this, it leads to anger. I shouldn't have to be patient. I shouldn't have to play games, wonder what she's thinking or doing, worry about our house, son, etc. Am I out of my mind here? Why would I even consider being with someone that would put me and our family through this? Hopefully this anger leads to indifference real soon
