Got a counseling appt tomorrow.......should be fun! I'm not fond of it, but doing it in hopes of long term solutions......I just need to get her to open her mind to wanting possible reconciliation, because verbally it's not an option.
I dont think it is something you should put a rigid time limit on especially if she has a medical problem. First take care of her mental/emotional difficulties. Dont push it.

I think you are already proceeding. You are keeping communications open yet giving each other space to step back and look at your problems. I think you will know when you reach that point. Or you will know when it will never happen.

Well you have 2 kids with her and she is having mental issues. So pretty much you are just going to have to suck it up and go with the flow for now. Devote your energies to yourself and most importantly your KIDS.

I'd be less concerned with yourself and moreso with the kids, the rest will work itself out.

This isn't true most times. My xSIL separated from my brother and gave him the son. A few months later she left the daughter as well.

My girlfriend dated a guy and his wife left him. She left him with a 3yr and 10yr sons. This woman won't pay child support.

It's a new day people. Women are leaving their families. They are leaving their young children with the dad. No lover and nothing is wrong. She doesn't want to be married and a mother anymore.

A man will display this behavior any day of the week. Why not a woman.

Let me get this straight:

-You started dating her when she was 23 years old

-Before you dated her, she had already been in 2 marriages and been divorced twice.

It's 1 thing to be divorced at age 23 (maybe she was too young and realized it), but it's another if she already got married twice by age 23 and both marriages failed. That is a huge red flag.

I'm sorry I don't have anything to offer. Posts like this make me understand why many cultures have arranged marriages.

Generalize or rationalize much?

He kicked her out, he freely admits to doing and saying things to push her away, she is at the house all day most days, I think she got tired of the drama, they need to try couples counselling

This is a thread from 2011. The OP moved on years ago. Why are you going around resurrecting dead threads?

This is one of the most insightful things a woman has ever said on CD!
