Well I met up with her for a quick snack at the local Applebee's. Gave her the documentation and then actually got her to talk about us honestly and openly for the first time since a few years before we we married. I think that the meeting and the proposal of us trying to fix our marriage was thought to be sincere by my wife but I think that it was really a subconscious battle between her fogged up will and her morals. I would not let her sugar coat anything or have her fog rewrite our history. I was so kind and respectful and composed. She was getting so angry it was almost kinda funny.
I made her call black black and white white. She hated and kept saying, "Well when you say it like that..." I did my best to make her understand what was really going on and call it what it was. Asked her how important a foundation to a marriage or relationship was and then asked her what type of foundation that she and the OM had? It was beautiful. Dared her to tell everybody exactly why me and her were no longer together and to honestly answer when somebody asked her how she and OM met. The look on her face was priceless. So I just said now that is not the type of relationship I would throw my marriage, morals, and 90% of my family away for. But at the end of the day I think that she will go back to the baby's daddy. She even said that she would never marry again and that it wouldn't be too bad her living with the child's father. It is so funny how much the fog chances everything about them. NO morals. I wonder if she would steal or kill or kidnap, or something else bad because of the fog. The fog is scary powerful!!!
I do think that after that meeting I am more at peace over what is bound to happen. I love my wife but she only loves herself.
In response to coachswife:
I don not think that I want the drama or am addicted to it. I just realized long ago that wife=drama and I accepted that. I am willing to go as far as she can be sincere and motivated(Which I learned tonight was 20 minutes into a conversation).
Well I just hope that the meeting tonight won't bring back too many long hard nights. I really hope that it turns out to be therapeutic.
