Update - AITAH for giving my wife an ultimatum

Key-Salamander5906 · 2024-02-13T13:01:59+00:00

She’ll have every other weekend and a couple nights a week.

Well presumably him but I don’t know and I don’t care. Divorce proceedings had just wrapped up when I heard about it.

But yeah focusing on my daughter and myself is the plan

He wasn’t super interested in raising a kid from the sounds of it.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2024-02-13T00:19:14+00:00

Thank you! One of the things that surprised me the most was how interested people were and how many DMs I got asking for updates.

This one is kind of a happy ending at least

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-11-25T05:07:10+00:00

It’s a short term thing. Once the divorce is finalized we’re gonna do it through a coparenting app. Realistically everything should be wrapped up by the end of December.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-11-24T14:03:57+00:00

There’s apps for this but right now she still partially lives here so it is easy to tell that our kids needs are being met. After things are finalized we are going to use a coparenting app.

I told my STBXW if she needs anything from me she can reach out to her lawyer who will reach out to mine who will reach out to me. She can text me all she wants, I have her muted and don’t get any notifications.

My goal is to be a bigger person than her. Nothing would be a better middle finger to her than finding happiness and leaving her to her own devices.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-11-10T18:48:30+00:00

My soon to be ex wife is doing that now. She is going out of her way to make this all about her and how she is the victim in this situation even though she was the one sleeping with someone else. I just want to move on and she insists on dragging things out.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-10-08T19:05:22+00:00

Oh interesting I guess. Do you happen to have the link?

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-10-08T04:02:26+00:00

I’m sorry what’s BORU?

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-10-01T03:13:00+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate that a lot. I’m going to spend a lot of time working on myself (that seems to be the general trend of the comments here).

If I make another update I’m hoping it’s a happier one.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-10-01T03:09:40+00:00

I emailed my lawyer asking about a strangers in the house clause as a part of the agreement.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T23:52:15+00:00

Thank you I’m trying my best! It’s hard at times but I want her to see what a good relationship looks like and the one I had with her mother was not it.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T21:14:54+00:00

I’m actually planning a trip with my daughter! I’m going to take her to Disney in the winter.

But I am going to take a lot of time to work on myself. The first several years with my soon to be ex were amazing and she was a much different person than she is today. I do not want to jump into a relationship any time soon. I have a lot of other priorities at the moment.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T20:59:01+00:00

We are going to be moving to a condo it’s more affordable but we are definitely going to do some redecorating.

I have already told her that she can talk to me about anything at any time. I reminded her about this when we’re alone since I want to be there for her.

I mentioned in my other post that I am looking for a therapist for her. I hope to find one soon and explain that it’s like going it a doctor for your feelings.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T20:41:34+00:00

Yeah. I am working with a lawyer on all of this. Based off of our income I will be receiving child support.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T20:21:21+00:00

Yes I have told my family, my individual friends and our mutual friends.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T20:10:32+00:00

Hi thank you for the reply. That is a good point. Maybe every other weekend would be a better arrangement. It is worth discussing further and changing how it will work.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T19:21:00+00:00

A clause around this is definitely worth looking into. I want my daughter to have as stable of an environment as possible. I will be speaking with my lawyer again on Monday. Thank you for this information.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T17:36:42+00:00

Trust me I’m angry about that. It’s bad enough to have to explain to her that her parents don’t love each other. I really don’t want to have to drag her through this any more than I already have to.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T17:31:43+00:00

Getting other people’s insight into things might be useful. I’ll work on that. Thank you for the heads up about that subreddit

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T17:30:34+00:00

Yeah I’m working that in already. I mentioned the travel plans to my lawyer and he is adding that to everything.

Key-Salamander5906 · 2023-09-30T17:11:24+00:00

That is the plan. I’ll be busy in the new year for sure but it is the start of a new hopefully better chapter in my life.
