You stitch and mine are very common. Everything down to the age, but I don't have a dog. My W said she would keep it caged up when I'm not at home.
My W and I have been living in this unhealthy sitch together for a while. The detaching works and being vague works too.
What I've learned is just b/c you may think something is better, doesn't mean the MLC'er does. If you make 100 changes they only see one. If you slip once in your GAL, they see you as the looser. They're hoping we fail and they will do what they can to make us slip up.
I know how this sounds. Love your W from afar. Reward her for doing good and distance yourself from the drama.
