Okay Big Al…Here is the bottom line on your WAW. If she asks for space…give it. I know you (and many other LBS) have a hard time seeing how time and space away from you will help the situation. But if the W can’t stand to be around you she will never get over whatever hurts, anger and resentment she has built up over the years towards you. Your in a good position at this point your W is talking a limited separation and counseling, not the Big D. Jump on that offer. Give her the separation and take her up on the counseling. Like me, your WAW is still willing to give it a shot. But you need to understand that is she is asking for space and time, just suck it up and let go. Start detaching and GAL’ing…start today. No more R talk, no pushing. Let your W be the one to bring up the R or the S. Try and keep an even head and not stress over the small stuff.
