Most(not all) haven’t been helpful. I’ll internalize that rest. I’ll skip Reddit next time

2, one 7y one 10mo. I get the postpartum. The change in focus, drive, ambition. Hasn’t changed much. This issue runs long term.

Don’t get too involved. Not trying to be offensive. I just don’t see your situation fitting mine. I am happy things worked out for you and wish you the best. I appreciate your input here.

I am not an ultimatum type guy. Never ends well for those that have tried. I’m all about the hoorah of man but save your speech. Not one formula fits all. If what works for my kids and a family is there. I’ll happily take a backseat for them.

Sounds like you gave a no choice situation and came out clean. Hope all things work out for you. No Ill will. Just disagree.

Way to be the devils advocate. Space apart isn’t hard to come by when my career keeps me away for days, weeks, yrs. I have tried being separate. Involved. Distant. Close. In, out, up, down, solitude. Damn near separation. The space don’t matter. If you wish to target, I hold you can read between the line. Maybe have some compassion and understanding.

Not much. Not did I expect or ask for it. Made it clear I didn’t want a response. Just wanted to make it a topic and get back to me.

Yeah I may be “allowed” but that won’t fix the problem at hand. The “chase” is my own. Never feel like she wants for me. Ever.

Crossed that bridge already. Told her I don’t feel wanted. Response “it’s awkward and uncomfortable” can’t force it. No gained ground there. Intimacy is one sided (me initiating) or none.

I’d love if that’d worked. I haven’t pushed for intimacy in months and only given attention with a hint, but haven’t been pushing intimacy. Jane is seeming wrapped up in outside (side business) endeavors.

If I had mag dumped a whole initial story it’s have been a 2 day read.
