Zodiac Sign Point to... (WAW) - 05/14/18 08:32 AM
Hi all,
It has been a few months since I last posted, but I have continued to read and learn. I requested that Cadet hide my previous thread when my W stumbled upon the forum. (Cadet, please leave the previous thread hidden).
Brief backstory: I talked my wife into doing work for my co-worker, which ended up stretching on for 3 months and being awful. During this time, we were definitely in a funk, but I thought it was just a down time in our M and it would pass. BD caught me by surprise.
Just weeks prior to BD, Wife and I had just purchased a small home that we were going to renovate into a rental property (we have done this many times and this is her semi full time job). After BD, her motivation greatly dropped and it was a massive project, so the property only just finally was completed and rented today. During the last 6 months, the project has forced at least occasional interaction between the two of us, although it is about 2 hours away from our home.
We have a small condo near the project that W was going to use for a home base during project, but after BD, she decided to live there full time. She has come back to our home on 2 or 3 occasions (always sleeping on couch etc), but she has already moved all of the "things she cares about" out of the house, including her cat.
Income wise, I have continued to support the two of us, as I always have. The rental properties that she works on were intended to be our long term financial freedom. At this point, they only bring in a small portion of income. I work several jobs, but my 9-5 is the primary household income.
That is most of the background. Two make it easier to follow, I will post more details in a few minutes.
