GW,
Read this quote again and give it some serious thought. What message do you think this has sent to your W?

I am asking you this because this is something I have had to realize in my own sitch. Being that lenient leads to disrespect on the part of the WAS.

Now is the time to change these patterns. Either way, whether your M survives this sitch of not, it will be good for you. You need to work on self respect, so you interact with your wife as a man worthy of respect, not one to walked over.

Do this for YOU and your girls GW.

And, I wanted to add that I am also very sorry about your dog. I have 3 myself and they are very special to me.
((hugs))
