"Once upon a time, not so long ago, a man lay in bed wondering who he was and how he had gotten to this point. He is desperately unhappy and in a fog. He needed so much more from her. He tried in his own way to fix things, but the effort was to no avail. Two people co-existing. He couldn’t talk to her. She was too self absorbed. She seemed content to focus solely on the kids, work, and managing the house. "

MO3,
I hope you are doing OK & able to get the kids out of the house! Thank you for this post. It has hit such a nerve I'm going to post to my own thread. Understanding the WAS motives & perspective I'm sure is key to the LBS' healing, but is also at least for me, one of the most difficult parts of this journey. Was I really that blind or did I need to be a mind reader? The answer for me is probably somewhere in between.

I hope it stops snowing where you are & your kids can play outside soon! Peace to you in the new year!
