My best advice to you, Storm, is to create some emotional distance between you and your W. Find things outside the M that interest you and fulfill you in other ways. Work on making yourself happy, finding out what it is you are passionate about (other than your family and sex). STOP pursuing her. You are only turning her off and devaluing yourself in her eyes (and in turn, losing respect for yourself).
Stormchaser, Whoa boy, your whole story is giving me flash backs to my first marriage. Please don't let the fact that it ended in divorce for me discourage you...not my intent. I'm just hearing..HER work, going out with HER friends, doing these things for HER...all waaaaaayyy to familiar with my ex !
Corri's first paragraph of her first post to you pretty much sums it up. You're doing everything for HER and sounds like nothing for yourself. Every weekend, going out with her co-workers???? WTF? Where is YOUR life? What do you do for YOU? I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like she owns you, like she has all the power in the relationship. I know it was suggested, and maybe I missed it if you said you've read "No More Mr. Nice Guy" {sorry, was in a hurry while reading all the posts} READ IT, READ IT, STUDY IT, and READ IT AGAIN !!! {hard to imagine that if I would have read this book during my first marriage...I might still be married to the first born daughter of Satan...as IC shudders in fear}
