Relationship Stress / by adaptableVillage8599

...See more Starting about a year ago, I began working 16 hours days 5 days a week. I was so exhausted from my work when I got home I didn't want to spend time with her or our daughter, and became extremely withdrawn only playing on my phone for the hour or two I was both at home and awake. She thought I was cheating on her because I was about as far gone as I could be without actually leaving. Over the course if the year, she processed the end of our relationship and began to have an emotional affair with a close friend from work. I found out about everything a month ago, and have been exceptionally overbearing in my attempt to fix our relationship. This all came to a head over the weekend, when she took our daughter and went to her mom's for some space to think. The time without her hurt, but it let me take the time to look at everything from her perspective. When she returned, we had a long talk, and decided that we would attempt a fresh start. Not completely fresh; but that we would act like we are dating again and take things day by day. See if we grow apart or grow closer.
