I think I need to drop any expecations, and just state my mind. W has never really given me a chance since this all blew up 7 months ago. ...
I think I just need to state my mind about the trust issue and our emotional needs. She stated last week that I never give her my thoughts and feelings. I think I need to do that.

And, the more strength and confidence you'll feel moving forward. In my sitch, learning how to 'lay it all out on the table' has been a very empowering experience. How else can any couple learn more about one another? Or an individual learn more about themself?
Oh, way to go AC. I'm so, so happy to hear you say all this!
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
