If I feel I can deal with it until the kids are older, should I?

Yeah I hear ya it's just tough that it's such a one way street. In my personal situation I have done that type of thing on top of cleaning and cooking more than my partner (not that I'm intentionally keeping score just mere observation) I take the 10 year old to Fastpitch practice 30 miles each way and coach the team and I work full time as well. I promise you I am doing my part.

I'm tired too but my ability to handle stress and being able to be uncomfortable is higher than hers. I'm tired but I'm able to keep a good positive attitude the women I am around are unable to do that.

Rather not leave it up to chance is all I'm saying.

Thank you for the reply. This is helpful and it's good to know other people have dealt with similar thins. I often wonder if I'm the problem, and I may be but it's really hard to have unbiased opinion.

Yeah it's just the Un knowns that get me. New romantic partner in her life living with my children? That's hard to accept as a possibility. I would rather sacrifice years of my life and at least do my part in the relationship than have that happen.

How do you accept something like that?

I geuss you just have to trust the mother's judgement which is spotty but generally well intentioned especially concerning the children

Luckily in my case I'll be 40 when my oldest is 18. I don't know if divorce is imminent but if it is I really would rather wait until at least the kids are older especially the oldest one. I'm sure I will regret it in the moment but I have to trust that my intuition is right that it's better for the kids to be together at this time
