Tbone I know how you feel and it is tough,and we do screw up and then kick ourselves in the a$$ but we go on.My XW goes cold for a week and then wants me to be around her every day the next week.We were together both days last weekend and 3 evenings this week.I have kept a good PMA about her vacation and helped her pickup some stuff she needed.I will be leaving the day after she gets back for a hunting trip so we will not see each other for almost 2 weeks.I hope this helps.She is living in one of my apts. and is supposed to be paying rent and hasn't.I am also storeing alot of her stuff,infact her clothes are still in my closet.She does spend alot of money from the settlement on the kids and whenever we go somewhere she pays for the meals but I think sometimes that I should say something about the rent but then again she will say stuff like she is giving all that she can right now but just isn't sure about getting into a R right now.I did tell her a couple of months ago that if I found out she was dateing or sleeping with anyone things will change and I will be out of her life forever except for the kids and she reassured me that wasn't going to happen.I know you have problems in you're R but you gave me good advise before and was hopeing you could shed some light.
