Things are progressing for you. I kinda talked my self into a new realization in dealing with these WAW(s)...
Do you guys know "ladder theory", look it up on google. The reading is short. In short its a theory of relationship management, IE: your trying to "get the girl" and her perception of where you stand with her, and how you can change categories, etc.
Many of use where the WAW is still with an OM have moved us from H role, to something sometimes less than a "friends without benefit" role.
She moved OM into much of the H role, and in her mind and body thats may be what he is.
To move from a "friends without benefit" role to a H or OM role is very hard because it requires a change in perception by the W. It may be harder to make this move, than if you where never H in the first place because she built up a laundry list of complaints on you.
Think of it that way. WAW IS NOT YOUR WIFE. You are not H to her, so how to you assist with that change in perception?
It also illustrates how tough it is to get a WAW to want you back into a "H with benefits" role.
