Coach is right.

Your W is just P.O.'d because you haven't danced to her tune. The C session last night was very telling. Just because you decide to live your life happy, she gets upset and throws a tantrum because that's not how SHE WANTS you to feel. Yet she blames you for being controlling. It's too funny.

My W said the same thing about how I was controlling her and we weren't even living together at the time.

Your W pulling away is natural. Just take it as another part of the process. Keep living the life you want to live. It's going to be up to her as to whether she wants to be a part of it or not.

I think her pouting also goes towards her painting you as the bad guy in her head in order to justify her EA. Suddenly you're not the bad guy anymore, so she's realizing that she's going to have to look at maybe herself as being the problem. Right now she's not at that stage, so she continues to lash out at you.

Continue to stay strong and positive. It's definitely working on her. The fact that she is showing any emotion at all is great.

Think of yourself as the rock in the ocean. She's the tide crashing over you, but you don't budge. Eventually she's going to get tired and you'll see her slipping into depression because she's just unhappy. She's going to have to discover for herself why she's like that. Just keep up the PMA as she's working through her issues.


You can do it.
