Ugh... my SD18 just came into my room. She was asking her dad stuff on the boat. I didn’t ask her to and honestly I didn’t want her to. She says she asked why had hasn’t told me he wants a divorce if he wants one and he told her “it is all about the timing”. Yeah...timing for him is when he thinks he won’t look like an a$$. The problem is... he has been an a$$ this entire time with all of his hiding and running away so he won’t be fooling anyone but himself. He doesn’t want to face any of it so the easy way out is to just D and take all of his issues to his next relationship and then the one after that.
I told my SD to stay out of it. She sounded like she was trying to tell him there is no good timing and he should just tell me. She thinks the kids will be fine. Of course, her parents have never been together just like his so neither of them have any concept of the impact of it. She is exceedingly immature about relationships... thinks of them in the same way her dad does... of course, she is 18, so it makes sense that she thinks it should be puppy dogs and rainbows until death do you part. But he is 45.
