DW not so thrilled about 'detachment'......

So I have recently begun to detach myself from all things skid related, at least what is possible and realistic. I certainly don’t completely ignore them as if they don’t exist, but decisions about homework, scheduling, chores, dinner, etc I have now begun to leave myself out of. I offer no opinion up front, and offer no suggestions on how to resolve problems. If asked, perhaps I will offer some opinion up. But by and large I have taken myself out of the picture in these type of scenes.

Back to the old schedule......hope I can handle it!

So after changing the living situation with the SD13 and SS11 just a couple months back, we're going back to the original schedule tonight.

Quick recap.....a couple months back, DW and her ex decided they'd try keeping SS11 with his dad all week, while SD13 stayed with us all week. Every other weekend both kids would alternate between houses, but the weekly schedule was to stay one kid per parents house...SD13 with us and SS11 with BF.

Just don't know which way to turn.........

After 4 years of marriage, together almost 8, I don't know if our marriage is something I can keep putting my energy into. I feel this marriage is sucking all the life out of me and draining me of any sense of self I once had. Things have been very rocky for well over 2 years now, and many problems are compounding our situation all at once. Lately I've really had to come to grips with what I believe, what I want, how I really feel about my wife deep down. There has been SOOO much resentment built up on my part towards her that sometimes I'm not sure the love is even there anymore.
