I just nagged too much and when there was an issue we chose not to sit down like 2 educated, civilized, mature adults and work through it. Instead we ignored it and let resentment build...so unhealthy. We never learned how to fight, communicate and resolve things.
Hi Courtney, I'm new here. My WAW left 7/18/09 that devastated me. Our problems, in a nutshell, was what you posted--we didn't learn to communicate. The more I didn't acknowledge my wife's feelings, the more she nagged me. The more she nagged me, the more I didn't acknowledge. The vicious cyle continued to spiral downhill until she got fed up and left.
I too can share your feelings about how someone you love can and knowingly hurt your tremendously. Was their hurt resulting from my actions that tramatic that now they need to look out only for their self-interest OR are they seeking revenge by making you hurt, too?!
