Wish I could read her mind (9) >>>>

Her behavior is TOTALLY disrespectful to you Tim. My psychiatrist once said to me, "Your wife has lost respect for you. A woman leaves a man when she loses respect for him." I didn't understand what he meant when he said it because it seemed too simple an answer. But I see it clearly in my sitch now.

My W is often treating me disrespectfully in the past few months and I call her on it. When I do that, I feel better. It doesn't matter to me what effect it has on her, but it does matters how I feel about myself.

One of the fears you probably have is if you take this stand you will just push her out the door. In reality you don't know what will happen. But one thing I can tell you will happen - you will be able to put your head down on your pillow knowing full well you did the right thing and took care of yourself. For all anyone knows, this very stand could turn your entire situation into a positive direction or maybe it won't. We don't know. But I do believe:

When you do the right thing, the right thing will happen.
