I really value what you say. I appreciate what you're saying. But I'll also say with just about 100% certainty that there isn't someone else in her life. She doesn't keep secrets. She's been very open about everything. We almost divorced 10 years ago and the end result was that we continued the relationship but neither of us was happy. Ever since, it's just better a matter of time. Finally, seeing the therapist, she got to say what's been needing to be said for years. There's nothing different now than 10 years ago. So, in a sense, sure she's seeing someone. She's seeing a therapist.
Yeah, I look back and I think "I'm such a good dad. I played Mr. Mom for 8 years. I've earned some brownie points." But I've also lost my temper plenty of times, too.
To address what some others are saying, I'm not trying to cut her off. I'm fine with having a nice cordial relationship with her. I'm just a little baffled by this change and I also don't understand why now, when in a few days or weeks, it's all going to go away. I wonder why she bothers. We've gotten along fine (so to speak) for years without saying much of anything to each other. I think, actually, that she's feeling better now that we're divorced so she's more comfortable talking.
