Well my STBXW is finally showing guilt over her choice. Not for me but for the kids.
She has been very upset lately that our kids' lives are going to change so much because of D. So many things that they like that they will have to give up because of cost and STBXW needing to get a job after 10 years of being a SAHM.
She spent about an hour crying on the phone to me about how bad she feels that her failure in life is going to affect them so much.
She asked me how we can drag out the D process for another year so they can have one more year with things how they are now. Basically me not there but supporting all of them so she can continue school and not have to work.
6 months ago I would have said "What ever you want dear" but now I said that there is no way I am going to continue my life like this for another year.
I don't want to be a part time family anymore!
I told her that the only way we will be able to provide the life that we always wanted for our children is if we can repair our life together.
Of course I got a good old foggy reply of "What do you mean by tha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> "
Now shes talking about our house being our girls house and we can take turns there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
She just don't get it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> I need to get my own place to live NOW. I have overstayed my welcome where I am and she wants to try to drag it out another year?????
<img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> I just don't see why she never understands anything that I say but I guess she will start to see what I'm talking about as her income becomes more limmited
AHHHHH! It would have felt much better to be yelling this at someone but I'll take what I can get.
