Oh yeah. I think I have continued to let her act this way because being with her, being married, our family, has all been such a huge part of my identity...but that's not a bad thing to me. I guess then it must be my responsibility if I actually care about her to leave her, so she can overcome her own stuff. Which is where I'm currently at...it just fucking sucks.

It does just fucking suck. And I’m very sorry that you have to go through this. The hardest part of love and relationships being vulnerable and knowing that sometimes it doesn’t work out. You guys have a kid together, and that’s more important than anything. Take care of your kid and take care of yourself. She’s chosen not to take care of you.

I'm doing pretty well actually today, thanks for asking - it really means a lot.

I made a few different calls this morning and setup an appointment with a lawyer later this week to sit down and get everything better sorted.

I started talking to a couple of my friends more about it and they have been surprisingly supportive of me, calling me, etc. Not feeling as alone as when I wake up at 3am and realize I'm all alone, which I'm not used to, but at least I know I'm sadly not alone in that boat and can relate to others.

Thanks again for reaching out. I'll shoot you an email.

Please feel free to email me. Sometimes I'm up at 3am anyway, and I can relate to the whole "waking up feeling alone" experience.

Just try to remember, it's temporary.
