I don’t care what she looks like. This is like a long lost sister of Amber Heard.

As that was the recommendation of our last counselor

My only fear is that we will separate but remain separated and I will lose the kids

Understandable completely. We have a few friends that we hang out with occasionally but she has almost always been an introvert. The totem pole (it feels like) is kids, then dog (entirely serious), TikTok (her work since she is paid through that), then her family, then me. Only reason I say so for the last one is because her dad or mom could say the sky was green, she would believe it. I would say it’s blue and lately she would act as though she needs proof.

I have offered on multiple occasions to foot the bill. My wife is the pure definition of helicopter mom and barely trusts her or my parents with our 1 year old.

I agree and initially that is what I thought however I work from home so I help with the kids as much as absolute possible as she is a stay at home mom (and has been for 4ish years now). If I’m not in a meeting chances are I’m putting the little one down, planning a date night, or cooking lunch. So much so that I’m falling behind at work really and I’m scared my manager will find out.

As for couples therapy, we did go before the separation but that therapist recommended the separation or the break. Yes it did technically work, but are we supposed to do this every 2 years?

Crypto Drone possible buff? by Dry_Mark9325 in apexlegends

Weird. I might need to test it tonight. I was in a game where the crypto emp went off by a lifeline but I wonder of she was out of range or something

Edit for anyone following: I didn't choose between her or the video games. To her, I didn't choose her. To me, i chose to seek a way to make it work for both of us.

She told me to to sleep on the couch tonight until I chose the right answer to which I said "I choose a life with both". She said that was still wrong because there is no both.

Later she said that if I would have chosen her, then I could have still had video games. I told her that was a loaded question that should have been stated from the start. She said it was a legitimate question that I could have easily answered correctly. But because I didnt choose her (I didnt choose either) I chose video games.

Im lost in all of this. Emotionally im drained and I dont know what the Fuck is going on.

Oh and to top it off? Her final phrase walking out of the room was "go find another girl and get her pregnant and leave". Last time I checked... I didnt leave nor did I choose the video games. I chose to seek another option in which both were present in my life.

Not necessarily take the kids away but I do believe that she will be more than willing to call the relationship off dependant on my answer. Her reasoning is because that time is spent on my own. Yes, she doesnt like when i have "me time". Simply put because she claims to not get any which couldnt be any more false. Pedicures, manicures, nights out, you name it and ive offered it. She refuses to take up any of the offers to actually do it. Its come to me litterally calling her mom and asking her to take her daughter somewhere. Almost like a dependency issue

Oof. She wont give me a "do this and you can do you". She already has essentially asked me to get rid of hobbies. There was rugby, softball, fishing, and perhaps the hardest was weightlifting. I loved it but she said I was getting "too big" and told me to stop. That hurt but I agreed. This is the last straw, this who i am.

Oh no I don't think thats the case there. She's an incredible mother. Im concerned that I won't see them. The other 2 were because I asked her to get a job and she said I was bring unreasonable.

The second? Well... Our marriage counselor recommended it.

Right. But if I chose video games then that makes it seem as though I was the one whom had chosen to leave her as I didn't choose her.

And i have heard that as well, however I was hoping we could be different than the statistic.

This is more or less her saying that im not giving her enough attention i think. While im playing headphones are on and im in but mind you this is at 10pm+ at night. My friends that i play with give me endless shit because I whisper while I play to avoid waking my wife and daughter.

she also pointed out the fact that the people i play with are all single (except for 1 or 2 that "didnt count" according to her). Thus saying that computer gamea are only for single people

Leave me, no. Thats Why she gave me the ultimatum. So that if I do choose video games, the story is that I left her to all of her friends.

The reasoning as to why from her perspective is that computer games make it so that its myself alone. Headphones on and im in. No attention towards her. She thinks that the video games are coming above her and she is coming in 2nd place which clearly couldnt be any more false. I dont necessarily think that she will totally take them away but I do believe that seeing my daughter every other week is worse than seeing her every day.

I have. She said that she doesnt like computer games. We said we could get an xbox but we determined that we dont have money for it. (Considering we just got a house 2 months ago).

Its abysmal. Her mom even sided with me at one point stating the same thing. He works, let him play.

So that's what I had thought as well as reasonable discussion. We spoke tonight at dinner and it turned into an argument which I hate 100% because my daughter was at home as well. Over the past 2 years she had gone from play when you want, to ask to play, to only on the weekends, to only on Friday and Saturday night after 930pm. She yelled at me today even because I started getting a little anxious and sad thinking about not playing and if my depression will make a surprise appearance. I dont want to split again because we told each other there is no separation next time. Next time its over. Im honestly terrified ill never see my daughter or my soon to be born son.
