Just wondering, the age of your youngest child is 1, did your wife change after the birth of that child? She may have serious health issues that need to be dealt with..thyroid ect, I was in a similar place to her but never left my family. It started exactly 3 months after the birth of my 2nd child. The entire time I was pregnant I think I dreamed about having an affair when pregnancy was over. Turned out i had huge hormonol fluctuations that continue to this day nearly 6 years later. I am not blaming that but it did contribute to my all around disregard to my family.

Good Morning All, Merry Christmas.<p>Red- Not sure what I'm supposed to e-mail you? Just to say hello. HI <p>Beautiful - in response to your question; "Just wondering, the age of your youngest child is 1, did your wife change after the birth of that child? She may have serious health issues that need to be dealt with..thyroid ect, I was in a similar place to her but never left my family. It started exactly 3 months after the birth of my 2nd child."
Actually we were seperated 2 weeks prior to his birth, seperated for 2.5 months. She had a difficult pregnancy both times, hated it and was a bear to live with. I was much mor understanding during round one, after 8.5 months with # 2 and her crazyness I had it. Other serius mtitgating factors contributed to the first seperation. MAritial recovery went well for 3 months but w/out a structured plan w slipped into same patterns. She went back to work in January, met someone in and in Feburary asked me to leave. I sadi no, she stopped coming home. <p>Estes- I sent an e-mail telling her I would pick the kids up tomorrow @ daycare, Told her to have a great time at her friends house today( I cna't stand this friend of hers), and that I would be missing them today. Felt good after I sent it. <p>Honey - FIL in law is on my side. MIL law and Step FIL are not. They are big enablers and are in denial about all kinds of stuff.<p> [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

dadoftheyear,
no, not email to me but to some other poster that complaint (on one of your thread) and try to make sure you keep your promise. Hope the 'coaster is not down but at least leveling ... [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]
