Over the Shock and GALing 6

[AlexEN]

This really confuses me because as a near WAW, all I wanted was my H to stop GALing, look at me and articulate clearly that he did want to participate in improving our situation and working on our marriage. And, of course I wanted him to follow that with some action.

Yep, this is the dichotomy; I clearly articulated this to WAW and at least she SAYS (and said) she has NO interest in improving our sitch and working on our marriage and her actions convey the same message.

@A&K, not sure what it was about our conversation last night (or if it even had anything to do with it), but I woke up in the middle of the night with a thought about the ultimate irony in my sitch (and, no, this isn't mind-reading, just an observation), W is going back to school FT in the fall for an intensive two years Masters program in Public Policy. She wants to be involved in solving important international issues (woman's rights, hunger, etc.) all of which is very noble. But, it struck me that she's able/willing to work intensively to "save the World", but, in her own words, she has nothing in the tank to "work on her marriage" and, implicitly, save our family. Again, I say this without judgment and mind-reading, but as a simple observation and wonder if the kids see this, too.

@Orich and @Thinker, reading your exchange of last night, my W seems like a hybrid of the two of yours.
