When we can love our spouses - as broken and confused (or NOT) as they are - but really love them unconditionally and let them go, it can do amazing things to the R - and US. My sitch was the same - we started to build this great "friendship" and she started wanting more of it. That, coupled with GAL'g and working on how to make myself more attractive to her - and being a man about it was the magic combination of elements that stopped our D.
And knowing when to council and when to not as COG says below can be a big deal. To stop suffocating and to just be.
That is exactly on target and what I mean to get across.
Like COG said also " the more I realized she's just not strong enough or able to take it."
