what's up with the weekends only sitch? I've been in a long distance M for 21 months now, although the end is in sight this summer, after d18 graduates. No way could I last much longer. Why are you living so far away, and when will it end? Wouldn't things (like DBing) be a lot easier if you were with each other? My main LL is time together, which I am obviously not getting enough of, and hence, being here. But what's your wife's LL? Regardless of whether it's gifts, physical touch, etc. it would likely mandate more proximity. So, do you have a plan for that? It'd also be a lot fairer to your W if you were around more for child raising. IMHO, my H has placed his career over time with us, for a long time. We are in "piecing" b/c he is saying the right things and I am believing he has changed. But forgiving is hard when I think of the hundreds of nights my bed was empty and I was on "parent duty" 24/7 for so long. How does your W feel about all that? Also, I doubt your w has PA with the realtor as well. Why would she let the kids know? I think it's joking, but insensitive. You have to project trust in her, at least in front of the kids, for now. I don't know enough of your sitch to comment further. Good luck, j-
