W can't break EA - not sure how to handle it

[pigskin]

The last thing I'm going to say about this is, is that there is such a thing as winning the battle and losing the war.

So you could probably activate that fear and bring her home. So f**king what? That's all it would be.


Then it's just a matter of time until it happens again.

Nice post, breakaway. I follow tristan's thread because my wife has depression that she is taking meds for, and she also has an OM, so our situations are similar excepting that my W still lives with me and sleeps in the same bed.

I agree that anything that brings a spouse back for any reason other than they want to be with you is probably kicking the problem further down the road. I think of things all the time to tell my wife in order to "force" her back with me. Most of them I keep to myself but occasionally I slip.

My take is that I don't want my wife to stay with me for any other reason than the fact that she wants to be here. Not the kids, not the hideous logistics of divorce, not friends and family telling her she's insane. Otherwise, I will be dealing with this situation again in the future.
