Well, I havent posted in quite a while. My wife and I seem to be more roommates than anything. She is still devoted to nothing but work. She is constantly away for 4 to 5 days at a time, rarely calling me, not even to check on our daughter. She has been saying that she wants to separate for around 2 months. I have gotten where I really dont care anymore. She comes and goes as she pleases leaving me to carry every responsibility with the house and our BD. She says that she just cannot afford to move out right now but she still wants to. I really dont know what to do from here. I dont want a roommate, I want a companion. Why should I continue to try when she doesnt even want to be married. I have talked to a lawyer and I have a good case to get custody for our BD. I dont want to take her away from her mother, I just do not really trust her at this point to be mature and responsible enough to be there for our BD. She says she wants joint custody and that the only reason she is gone and not doing everything with our BD is because she knows that I am a good father and that I will be there for her. She says that if i was not there then she would do more. What is the next step. I hate the idea of divorce and have never been around it at all. But I am tired of being in a broken relationship where my partner doesnt have the slightest desire to work on.
