I was in your Sitch exactly 24 months ago. My DB was Dec 18..
It was a rough until March 2019 as WW was still in the same house.
The LBS is controlled by fear... In my case it was around the children.. Not seeing them every day, would the seperation impact on them etc.
I can hand on heart say that the last 18 months have been the best 18 months since i met my WW... I also now believe our seperation was best for our children. My WW has always been selfish and her selfish actions controlled / dictated what we did with our children. She found day trips out with three children "stressfull" - she hated our annual holidays abroad, as they werent relaxing - they stressed her out. She never saw past her own opinion or agenda.
Since seperation (when not in lockdown ) i take our children on day trips every weekend. They are the kind of places my ex would hate ( Blackpool / llandudno etc ) but its not about the adult - its what makes kids happy !
You are fortunate your Daughter is 16.
Move on, be a great dad to your daughter and embrase your new life. In 2 years time you will be happy - your WW will probably always be messed up !
