WW asked for S 5 months ago. Married 13 years, together 16, 2 kids. I put life and kids above R and W was not happy. She has felt lack of support, respect, career falling short, etc. W started working out and going out with new girlfriends. I felt disrespected and things deteriorated.
I started DB 3 months ago after begging and such for a bit before giving space. We share the house on a split schedule. Share finances. I question the sharing, but not sure how splitting things would help DB, but promote a D instead.
We communicate well now and do things with the kids. Mostly business, some non-business. W is angry and very guarded. I feel as if I provided the family well, but I also get areas I fell short. I do want W and family back. I fight anger still and work on GAL, but hard with our sharing situation. I workout, run, ride. No OM to my knowledge, but who knows for sure.
W is working on herself and time will tell if she works on our R. I have known we had issues in the past and buried them thinking things were OK.
One question is she took her ring off early on after she didn't know where I was one night. I was vague but doing nothing wrong.
I have kept mine on and feel like I should to save the M, but I also fight wanting to take it off to help GAL.
I definitely haven't fully detached. I find that line hard to figure out. Want vs Need, etc.
We also have a big trip planned with kids (before S) this year that we have to commit to soon. As of now we are going.
