That's exactly what it sounds like. She's telling you not to date and move on while she does her thing. Nice deal for her.

Hmm, what's your goal? Is it to save your M or just get support for moving forward?

I say that cause your wife reached out to temp check, and you kind of Vomited in her face. We all know what she said is crap, but if you throw it in her face she will "learn" not to reach out to you, and when/if she seriously wants to reach out to reconnect, she won't because every time she reaches out it ends bad.

Ignore those texts, there's no winning situation in responding, you're not going to get her to admit she was wrong and you're only going to push her further away..

I get it, I hold onto that anger too, but you gotta just let it go and leave it unanswered.

Great advice everyone, thanks.

Coconut, I'm not sure what my goal is right now in regards to W..

I've been GAL and getting into amazing shape and enjoying my me time.

Don't get me wrong, I miss W terribly. But I'm trying to view her through a more honest lens. She has issues just as I do. The difference is that I admit to my issues and truly work on them. She doesn't.

That is a huge difference.

I don't have any insight to offer you, but I know you've got to be missing D8, especially today. Just wanted to tell you happy father's day, T.

Yesterady was a little tough. I definately missed D10 and I spent some time texting with her and sending her funny pictures.

W and D10 sent me a Father's Day coffee mug and a nice card. I texted them both and thanked them.

I was able to spend some time with D17 and that was fun.

I miss having a companion though...

Feeling pretty bummed today...

I was browsing Facebook (haven't checked FB in months) and W was tagged in a mutual friends picture looking happy.

I know I shouldn't put much thought into it, but it really bugs me to see her looking so happy without me.

I miss her.

FB is smoke and mirrors. I can't even begin to recount the number of people I've seen post crap on there about how perfect their life and family is when I know full well their reality is a whole lot more bleak than what they're posting. I really don't know why people do it, I guess they want everyone to envy their "perfect" life? Anyway, you're reading too much into it. Stopping to smile for a pic doesn't mean she's happy. But regardless, you will get to the point where her mood doesn't affect your mood. It takes time, but it will happen!
