How did you not know/why were you surprised that your parents tried to get custody of your daughter? How did it occur so quickly?
Wife left Wednesday night at midnight.
Came back Thursday for clothes.
I got a phone call at 3pm Friday from the county court filling me in.
I really wish there was more to say. The whole point of a throw-away is to say what you say without giving a fuck. If there was any substance/emotional/physical abuse I'd just drop it and give some half-assed justification, but there isn't.
Why is your first reaction to change your entire being to suit your wife the instant your wife decides to pack her shit and TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER AWAY FROM YOU (with a young male on-looker I might add)?
Nothing has changed. It's been two days. I'm adamant about being who I am. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to go to counseling and try to work things out like an adult.
Why are you taking this all laying down?
I set up a consultation with a lawyer, left him a voicemail tonight telling him it's an emergency. I'm not sure what else I can do. If I leave then I end up being the one looking bad.
analyze your relationship with this woman who was willing to walk out of your life with your kid at the drop of a hat
It wasn't really the drop of a hat tbh, shit has been piling up for a long time. I don't fault her for leaving, I fault her for crawling back as soon as she realized separation is hard, after I had already fought through the pain.
she's running back because she lost her one ace up the sleeve. She made her bed, let her lie in it while you NOW work on becoming a better man for the sake of your child.
Yeah, that was actually starting to be the case until she poked her head back. Now she's refusing to leave. She doesn't understand that our daughter isn't coming back to this house with the condition that this relationship is in, so she's going to leverage that to get me evicted.
I get the feeling that I'm about to get ass raped without lube.
