Well to answer the question about my wife, yes she is a walk away wife. She told me "I love you but I am not in love with you" then proceeded to see how fast she could escape by getting a lawyer and wanting to file for divorce immediately. Thankfully NC has a 1 year and 1 day waiting period after you physically separate and live apart. That waiting period has been a Godsend in many regards because it's like a forced legal period where we can go work on ourselves before we make a rash decision. She was making rash decisions back in the fall and I think right now she's regretting them a little.
For us I think an important thing that's gotten us this far is that we both recognized we had a lot of work we had to do on ourselves and we've been doing it. Now we have to show it and recognize it in each other.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
