Relationship with Ewe, 1000 miles away, has been a challenge. For the past 16 months, I have gone there or her here for 7-15 days per stretch. Next trip will be the last, she will be 15 miles away. Yes, it is an absolute challenge. We figure we have put 40k or more miles on the two...

Howdy. Is he toxic and gaslighting. Stand your ground and don’t apologize unless something is really your problem. While my phone is open to my wife and vice versa, we honor each other with privacy. If one of us has a question, we ask. We talk a great deal.

Welcome. Sorry to see all that you have dealt with. It sounds like you have done a good job in handling this. A breakup is hard, the first one or the third. As far as your son, you prioritized him. Your ex will likely never change. His issues will continue. This group is very open. It’s a good...

You own it. Step one. When needed to talked to Joe about sex with John - step two. We all screw up. Some don’t recover. You appear to have evaluated things well. Carry on.
