My family lives in Florida so they couldn't be there, the party was all of his family. I still am very close with them and actually talk to them at least once a week. They are very upset with him b/c as they see it he abandoned his family for Ow. ( small w- thanks!)
Yes we are going to C for co-parenting issues. I am looking at it as a possible chance that H may start to realize some things about our M. We have been going for about 2 months now and so far nothing has changed really. I like the C and she knows that my goal is to have my H and family back together again. H & I have only gone together 2 times the rest has been just our daughter. The C hopes to meet with H alone a few times b/c she feels he has a lot of personal issues that he is not dealing with that have contributed to him leaving. Unfortunately H doesn't want to face these demons.
Isn't it funny, I really don't think my H is any happier now either. He appears on the surface to be fine, but when I look at him sometimes when no one is watching he looks very sad. H & I have been M for 10 years, I know the look when he is feeling down as I am sure you also know your H's "sad" look.
I have tons of anger too, at myself for taking him for granted a lot and not realizing sooner just how unhappy he was, but I am really angry like you b/c H didn't even want to try before he bailed. My H also said he did too, but trying means both spouses giving their all AT THE SAME TIME , not just one of them. My H refused any kind of MC . I know that it was b/c of Ow , but of course he denied and still denys this. I feel like our M didn't even have a chance b/c he was involved with someone else. Ow robbed us of any chance of getting our M back on track! and for this I hate both of them.
