She highlighted for me the fact that W was often unwilling to compromise on things that mattered a lot to me, or to even really acknowledge some of my opinions as valid.
She didn't slam my W. She helped me take into account the very real day-to-day issues that were problematic.
And that W still hides herself from reality to a large degree. W "games" (RPG's, pen-and-paper) at least 3-4 nights a week; two of the others are filled watching TV shows. All with the same small group of people.
I was trying to break away from gaming some, citing to W "I want to spend more time together; we don't get enough real time with each other". She told me "If you don't want to go to gaming, you can sit at home. I'm going anyway."
Not just once or twice, but almost always. I had to persuade her to cancel gaming to celebrate our wedding anniversary. She even said "well, we could have lunch, and then go gaming."
OK. So I'm focusing on that one aspect a lot - but it was almost an addiction for her. Still is.
It also shows some of the lack of willinness to compromise.
My god. It may honestly be the case that I might be better without her. That's a tough thing to realize.
