Your children will adapt (I am a product of two divorces / parents-wise) as long as you continue to be their Dad and haven't changed how you are there for them, they will feel secure. That is the important issue for them that their world is not crumbling but will continue in spite of Mom and Dad living apart. In time, they will get used to this if this is the case.
Do the 180, don't engage any longer, ask yourself what is right for you before committing to anything. Don't change for anyone else other than yourself, that will be real change not something that was forced on you.
You are a decent human being and if there are things that need tweaking do them but really do them for yourself because you want to improve yourself for yourself.
Let go of the rest. Pray, build a support network, share with others, find other interests...live in spite of this. |
Thank you. I'm 3 weeks into this. And yes, the past 2 have been attempting to be a man my wife could date, but she's not ready for that. She just "appreciated" it. Hey, no biggie. But hearing it's over, again, in MC, and her backing out of a commitment, hurts (a little less this time
) and now, I'm not sure what my next plan is. It was almost like another weight had been lifted.
