It sounds like you are doing well with your wife. I wish my H wanted to spend time with me. I just found out from a friend that OW was spending too much time with her XH and my H got a little upset. So she cut down on the time she spends with XH but she is not being totally honest with my H. I hope that means it is the beginning of the end.
I have a question for you from a male perspective. H promised to help pay my student loan and then when he started dating OW (which was a friend of ours). He told me that he should not have to help with any of the bills he left me with. Anyway to make a long story short, my attorney recommended that we ask for short term spousal support. I was a stay at home mom until I went to oollege in 1999 at the age of 43 to get a degree in special education. The judge actually awarded me 2 years spousal support but H doesn't agree so he is taking the D to trial. H is furious with me. He says I am trying to screw him in the divorce. My question is will he ever forgive me for getting spousal support or does that pretty much end any chance I have of reconciliation?
If you want any more information about my situation, I have posts on Newcomers, Hopefulness, and Midlife Crisis threads.
Thanks and stay calm it sounds like you wife is still unsure of what she wants.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
