emphatic:
Really sorry to hear this, man. Hope you land on your feet. :cheers:

drventure:
Thanks guys.

Hopefully, we can just work through this quickly and walk away. That's what we've both said we want anyway.

Anyone in the Dallas Ft Worth area that feels like grabbing a beer (or a coffee) and talking games, feel free to pm me. I know there was a meetup started, but I didn't see that it actually went anywhere.

Really looking forward to the next PinballFest in Grapevine, although I hope that have better shirts next time round.

Hang in there man. I have been divorced twice and it aint no picnic, but it can, in the long run, be the best thing for you.
Just always (and I say ALWAYS) put your kids first. You can find another woman. (Trust me there are plenty out there.) You are a grown up. You know these things happen.
But its a different ballgame for the kids. You should make sure your wife understands this too.
Try not to hate your wife, especially in front of the kids. And see the kids as often as you can, and learn right off that you cannot say anything bad at all about her in front of them, in other words, learn to ignore your true feelings and pretend when you are in front of them, and do not slip up when you are talking to a friend on the phone while they can overhear you.
Their eyes are on both of you, and they are watching and needing you now more than ever.
Again, hang in there, and know that this is probably best for you, but it may take some time to fully realize that, and that's ok too.
Time is your friend.
But if you and the wife decide to work things out, then go for it.
BTW, my kids have grown into wonderful adults. My son from the first marriage is now 29 and a minister. He has given me my first grandchild with another on the way. My daughter from the second marriage is a beautiful young lady of 21. She is currently going to college and wants to get into the medical field. I am very proud of both of them.
So there is always a silver lining and things usually work out for the best.
Best of luck to you man!

Sorry to hear about your situation.   Hang in there and as long as you can get to the internet everyone here is with you.  All the best.

I grew up in a divorced family and where I, as a boy found strength in my mother, my sister looked to my father and he basically distanced himself from us.  My sister was never the same and I see it in her relationships today.  Her scars are clearly visible by the way she acts.   If she comes to you asking for something her mother told he no, even if you despise her mother, you have to say no too.  My sister played ping pong between my parents and it all went to hell.

Be strong and above all else put your daughter first.  Be firm but ALWAYS be loving.  You can do this, but she's got to come first.
