Another Fight

we got into another fight last night. We get into an argument every night it seems. My emotions are all over the place and she can't seem to understand why. I think she's lying to me, and if she would just come clean, we could make it a clean break. Would still be awful for the children, and really for me as well, but at least I would have a feeling of true closure. Instead, I sit in limbo, having to sleep in the basement, not knowing who she's texting at night, not knowing what she's doing when she's out of the house. Knowing how weak she must think I am, as I try not to break down every single day. I weep for our family, which will never be the same. I weep for the kids, who are already feeling the strain. I weep for myself, as I have lost so much already in the last three years. Her lack of compassion is so painful. No respect for me, but I just sit there and take it. Not sure I can get through this. Want to be strong, but always feel defeated and weak. Feel like a chump, as I am certain she has already found someone else while I sit alone. Hurts more than anyone could possibly know.

Im sorry you are having to go threw this struggle .... its always so painful with kids and not knowing what the future will hold. The only thing you can do is make sure you are the best Dad you can be to them with or without her... and be kind to yourself knowing you deserve happiness, peace and trust in your life. I continue to have moments of grieving for the loss of the relationship what it was and what i thought the future would be but i know i must stay positive and not look back.

I'm glad you are able to stay positive. Everything is so raw right now; that it's impossible for me to be positive. Hope to be there soon,bit felt like I'm nowhere near there.
