Steve - I agree, but my wife was like this from the jump. She never liked making decisions. Her boyfriend went to the college she chose. Her dad told her what she should major in and where she should work. After college she lived in an apartment he owned. When she moved 800 miles to get closer to me, I picked out her next apartment and a year later she moved in with me. She just never really made her own decisions her whole life. She just kind of goes with the flow and then gets upset when things don’t go her way.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but my daughter just had another crying spell about the divorce. Good because at least she is letting it out from time to time. Bad because it breaks my heart.

I saw my STBXW at church today, she sat with us. On the way out she told each of the kids she loved them, I said have a happy Sunday and she didn’t acknowledge me. She’s the Ice Queen. Total opposite of the woman I married. She used to exude warmth and love. Her mom is icy as all get out as well.

She texted me today that if I needed help with her watching my daughter while my son had sports
Practice she could. I just said i had it taken care of.

Today I had less anxiety. I can’t figure out the ebb and flow. It really seemed to calm down when a friend and his boys came over last night and we played ping pong in my party shack till 11p watching football with the projector. I think a key for me is having other adults around from time to time. Helps with my loneliness.
