thanks so much for everyone who's reached out etc it really means a lot. Taking little man to mums for the weekend so will be nice to relax away from it all even just for a couple of days.
Thankfully I've got a mancave with my PC, PS5, Series X and my warhammer painting desk so in the evenings I'm pretty happy to setup camp in there for the night and have some proper me time. Looking at potential new houses for myself is also quite exciting so silver linings and all that.
Late reply to this but it must be an awful situation to find yourself in but you sound to be handling it in a very good manner considering, kind of good to know you’re already seeing the positives almost of the situation? Hope you’re still doing ok
Cheers mate.
So quick update, two weeks ago I went to mums with little man for the weekend, chatted all things moving etc. When we came back on the Sunday the wife said she didn't want a divorce and that I was rushing things. Told her I wasn't rushing it's what I want. She then proceeded to throw out all the pictures and things of us and ripped up scrap books of all the things she’s kept through the relationship all while little man was in the lounge. This obviously upset him as he didn’t know what was going on. She told him to ask me about it, obviously I didn’t want to tell him until after Christmas but she was adamant and when I refused and said it wasn’t time she then proceeded to tell him and said it was all my decision and that I was the one that was making the decision on the divorce.
Obviously I’m not going to tell my 6 year old that it was her having an affair etc, so year I was made to look like a mug. Here’s the kicker though, once he went to sleep and she calmed down a bit, a couple of hours later she’s again saying she’s not wanting a divorce and wants to fix things (something I’m not willing to do that ship has sailed a long time ago) saying if I put in the divorce now she’ll refuse to sign it and fight through the courts and fight to take him.
She asked me to take time and see if we can fix it and if I still feel the same after a while then she’ll then do it amicably. So I’m now playing a waiting game until the new year, knowing I want a divorce, all just so I don’t have to go through the courts just to see my kid etc.
You've got to laugh otherwise I'm pretty sure I'd lose it.
The joys of real life and adulting right…..
