WAW EA told her to leave

[DangerDave]

Hi AJM,

Sorry for the late response, but I am really trying to stay off the boards on a daily basis - better for my overall mental health! Also reading all the stories here have me at times losing my focus on ME and my R - not that I don't have sincere empathy for everyone in this HELL, but all sitch's seem to cross paths like a double helix, the routes may be different but the map and destination are all the same - it is fascinating to me how they all intertwine really!

Yes I agree that I need to re-emphasize my personal fun factors and pursue them more right now. I really think that I don't need to raise my detachment level from W at this time as it seems to be at a tipping point - much more and she's going to resent it and look at it as me being mean and nasty (not my intention at all, but I do know her sensitivity better than anyone in the world!). Also I think it's important for me to include our kids in these fun factors, good for me and them too and it's also a significant emotional trigger for her that I'm being the dad that every man should be - just how she's wired.

So with that it mind, it will be a slight amount of additional detachment, but will include our family sans W, so a win win regardless for me and the kids.

I will post my weekly update here shortly, it's been a pretty good week overall, no significant set backs and some small baby steps forward again!

AJM thanks for your and everyone's support here - it makes my day really!
