I am going to challenge you on your last to posts. Maybe the other fathers are away on business. Maybe they are running marathons or climbing Mt. Everest.
I worry that this will happen to you again because I feel you haven’t learned anything from this experience. A woman is not attracted to a man she can have her way with. One who spends 100% of his time trying to please her and the kids. She wants someone who is his own man and spends time playing sports, running marathons, golfing, hunting hanging with his buddies and being a man. Not all his time let me be clear on that.
W I think I explained this to you before that this $hit is hard wired in humans for thousands of years that a woman wants a man she can feel safe and comfortable with and one she knows can protect her. When you don’t stand up to her she thinks, well if he can’t stand up to me how is he going to protect me.
Stbx : I think you’re playing too much softball and not spending enough time with the kids and I. W: Baby I understand you feel that way but it really helps me relieve stress which will allow me to spend better quality time with you and the kids. Stbx: it’s too much! Blah blah blah W: I’m really sorry you feel that way. Let’s discuss it over a glass of wine later.
If you’re being reasonable a reasonable woman will want to make you happy.
