So yeah. Sometimes a checked out, emotionally immature person leaving you can be for the best. That doesn't make it any easier . . . I've certainly cried an ocean of tears. But I know that I was giving a lot more than I was getting, and I'm going to thrive on my own. For his part, he seems to be a poster boy for FAFO. He really wanted to be with this woman, so he followed his dlck out the door. But he didn't anticipate all the things he would lose in the process . . . closeness with his kids, reputation, freedom, clients, friends, his primary attachment figure, health, money. He actually thought he would have more free time because he thought he did SO MUCH parenting, but he was always gone on guys' trips, he had coffee with friends every morning and [b]did happy hours every evening,[/b] went to concerts most weeks, spent all weekend mountain biking or fishing with friends. So now that he has to be the only parent 40% of the time, he is STRUGGLING.

I play my tiny violin for him.

NP and my situation is similar to yours, though we do not have minor children. Yours sounds like an alcoholic. I'm pretty sure mine is as well. I barely see him and we barely communicate but the last time I did see him wow he looked like absolute hell which is satisfying. I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry for the kids (yours and mine) that they have to see their fathers make a mess of their lives but apparently neither your ex nor mine is terribly bothered about how they are affecting their kids. I do not know where I get the strength to not lose my mind but I haven't and it sounds like you haven't either.[/quote]
