Nothing you did caused this and you cant control it nor stop it
There are things all of us can reflect on in our M that we did wrong..that is life and we are not perfect
Its good to know what you would change and start practicing the new patterns as much as you can
If you want to stand for your M, practice new skills with him
Gal, confidence, kindness, friendship...overlooking all his behavior
Setting boundries when needed...kindly, firmly especially around OW and child- this will also make the separation process easier
As I reflect..I can see also my xh being discontent in his mid thirties and after our 2nd child was born and he became successfull...he snapped
I dont think his script from childhood could allow him to succeed, so instead he followed the call to fail and let everything he had go..and it was a lot-i including his kids, business and sobriety
