Yeah, I'm more like you, Esox. Either you're married or you're not -- you don't start making judgment calls as to how WELL the marriage is going. To me, the ring is a sign of our commitment and fidelity to each other.
Mrs Puppy isn't you. Will you try something? Stop using these kind of words when describing your W - script, fog, narcissistic, NPD etc. Also think about when you say - always, never, all the time, no effort etc. These words paint her into a corner in your mind. This is part of the dance that you can change. We all have issues. See her as a person, women, wife and mother. You seem to keep score alot. All the the things you do vs the no effort on her part. It stops being fun to play when you can't score any points. Frustration is a negative emotion it clouds your perspective. If you were in a SSM then two parties were starving just maybe not in the same way. Open yourself up to the possibilities and opportunities now and the future can hold. "Be the change you wish to see in this world." - Ghandi
