OB...you are absolutely right its all very important. Just wanted to ask... whereabouts in Aus are you?

LH19...Im not sure it's a job he is willing to do.

Wayfarer... you were spot on!

So he waffled again, claimed he didn't want to work on us. I just said ok and walked away and he has started acting like a AH. I had a very important task due for my job today which i have every year.... he knows about it, I asked him if he would stay the weekend and support me...he agreed and it feels like he went out of his way to be anything but.

He abruptly walked out yesterday going off about how none of the kids were listening to him or eating, claimed he was visiting his office and was gone for about 2 hours (its around the corner and its his own business but he has always just used his laptop when he has work to do)
I wonder if the OW has been reaching out to him or he has been reaching out to her, we are in lockdown and there is honestly no where to go open. He came back calmer but still a AH. He then napped all afternoon, went got takeaway for him and the eldest then left.

Is he mourning her? Regretting choosing me? Should I even care?

I have just shut down with him. Not lovingly detached by any means, more angry and I don't want to deal with him. He has major issues he needs to deal with and Im just going to focus on me and the kids.

Really worried about the eldest, he has badly regressed in his sleep and is constantly analysing his fathers actions and movements. I have spent the morning calling around to see if I can set up a phone counselling session for him. He is only 8 but has always had such a wise and mature nature with a high EQ. So he is really feeling this.
