[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 2379150, member: 115"] I know it's not going to mean much now, but try and keep in mind that the last seven years were hardly wasted. The only waste would be if you kept going on with something that wasn't really working, love or no love involved. You have a daughter that you seem to love very much, and that's definitely not a waste. I'm sure that she loves you too, and you'll still be a part of her life. You'll be able to explore some aspects of your personality that seem to have taken a backseat to your marriage, which is a very good thing - you should never sacrifice who you are for someone else, only compromise. Finally, the next time you meet someone, and there [i]will[/i] be a next time, however much you don't believe it, you'll know a little better what to look for so you'll be happy. On the more ego-boosting side, you sound like a really nice guy, and a responsible father and husband. Your wife on the other hand sounds a little too zealous and overbearing, and generally making you unhappy. I wouldn't worry about child-support or visitation rights or anything that much - at least from what you've told us, though IANAL, it sounds you're not anywhere in the wrong. I would seek out a lawyer now though, and go over things so you'll be prepared. [/QUOTE]
