How to treat a WAW when I've stopped chasing her?

Hi again Alli,

LBS = Left Behind Spouse.
A = Affair
EA = Emotional Affair
PA = Physical Affair
The one I had the most trouble figuring out was PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) as I haven't gotten that far into the book just yet.

I think patience is the key. It seems to be a recurring theme amongst the posters on these boards. And don't let yourself become a doormat. Remember, our WAW's don't see what they're doing as wrong. More than likely they have justified to themselves and their support network that the problem is the marriage and more specifically the marriage with us.

Some of their feelings may be warranted, while others may not. My particular WAW suffers from selective memory syndrome (my term). She only remembers the bad times and none of the good. In her mind it was all bad all the time. I asked her to explain how our son came to be and she couldn't, but I don't think it helped any.

Hang in there, it could be a long and bumpy ride.

Now if only I can take my own advice.

Good luck,

Dash
