The easy path is the hard path and the hard path is the easy path.
This is probably supposed to be a Zen-like thing, but I’ll bite:
The short-term solution (giving up and giving in and dropping W like a bad habit) will cause me much pain / suffering in the long-run, and DB’ing (though hard now) will ultimately bring more joy in the future and hopefully make things easier.
Even though my current mood is to drop her like a bad habit. You want out? Fine, GFY. But your parenting proposal s*cks, your idea of rotating residences is a joke, and you need to get your own place if you’re really serious. Oh and after we S / D and I get my act together I’ll start dating when I’m ready and I’ll totally make you regret leaving me behind. Ta-F’ing-Da.
