The things you said about your W moving, the appartment, etc., is another glimpse of her distorted "world". The more reality she gets hit with....the better. Remember.....no helping her when she "needs" something around her place fixed. Right now you feel determined but look to be caught when you are feeling low and trying to give a good excuse to do what she asks. The male friends I know wouldn't mind helping move but they would not want to be available for all those other jobs that will be popping up. Have your little pat answers memorized and ready to load & shoot.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
