What if I told you that my wife let her best friend talk to me for four hours (Valentines Night) while my wife deliberately went to bed. And then when I was done (I went to bed, she woke up) and her friend left at 12:30AM she asked me if talking with her helped?
Her friend told me all kinds of things one very important one was to back off and it would help and she could come back if I just did that. Most best friends do nothing of the sort but she was all about helping me understand.
Now here is my point> I never checked in, never. So I can honestly tell I never knew WHAT my wife was thinking or feeling. So what do you think I deserve but a WAW.
Oh and one other point. Does you wife any any self worth. How would you feel if you felt you were stepped on and the lack of communication was not your fault and then when you could not take it anymore after YEARS built up enough courage to leave and then your spouse says wait a minute I can change. What do you think all those hurt feelings are going to say?
Yes you got it: FU
Would you do it any other way? And what do you think gives them the power to say that to you?
