Hi fb2,

I've had a long think about this and this is what I've come up with, your W sees your changes, your new upbeat relaxed attitude, but what she doesn't see is you moving on. So at the moment she can chat all kinds of sh*t to you, but at the end of the day she still knows you will be there to take it. So to her you're still a sounding board, a doormat or a punch bag (ouch).

If I look into my sitch the two things which turned things round for me were me telling W that I was done with the M, and I was serious. The other thing was through my best pal I've hooked up with a group of guys who are real party animals, real playas, not my usual type of pals. This is something which has caught W attention so anytime I'm out with them W wants to know where we've been, what we've been upto etc.

What I am saying to you is W needs to see that you're out there again, you need to slip into conversation that your social life is on the up. OK I know money is tight but I think you need to show her that you can and will live life to the full without her.

Think about it.
