How did I get here?

Yep, I remember when my XW came home from a month long business trip, packed up and moved into her own apartment. She had her own idea of what it would be like. It's funny how they plan for months but then things don't exactly work out they way they want. For me, every time my XW made a step in a direction, I either made the decision to not react at all or react. A reaction for me would be more detachment, more GAL's and 180's.

Then she would rationalize..."see we're at our best when we're apart." This was total crap. BUt at least she's learning that there are effects for her decisions and I'm no longer there to pick up the pieces and help her through. Just wait....the holidays are coming and that will be the true test for her.
