Since years ago I came very close to being a WAW (no affair though) I wish I could give some helpful advice but not sure if I can. I knew the grass wasn't greener but just so burnt out that kids, house, and a full-time career were all on my plate....(wanted to be a sahm but H financially undermined that option....think a lot of my end of the marriage mistakes came from resenting this). He was escaping to staying up late, tv, computer, and porn. So I felt like a single mom most of the time. My home was a wreck, budget was a wreck, work was horrible because I didn't want to be there... barely had energy to take care of the kids. So I'm being judged by friends and family as a bad wife & mother(most of them never guessing I wanted to me a sahm)....whereas he looks like a rose because he changes diapers sometimes.

I can't speak for every walk away wife but I almost gave up because instead of working as a team to fix our problems he minimized the exhustion and pressure I was under...and emotionally abandoned me to his escapes when I needed him most.
