Im REALLY trying to understand what your saying, even the counter intuitive stuff, you keep saying her resentment is about my "weakness". Why cant it simply be resentment over my behavior and neglect of her and how I hurt her ? That just seems like so much more a logical explanation. Or is this one of those sitch's where "logic" simply doesnt apply ? The really funny thing is I can almost beleive what you mean about the resentment being about "weakness" from her perspective, since she venomnously spat out at me a few weeks ago that she needed a MAN. Someone to take care of everything. But I must say it sure seemed like I was doing everything I could to take care of things, other then her emotional needs.
The thing is, based on what I heard tonight at DD counseling session, I may be in my very own Mission Impossible. I now know they are VERY big on " family dinner night " and "every night is game night " with the EX. Basically almost laughably over compensating for what the WAW felt was missing from our family life. The funnier part is its only possible for them to do it since neither one of them is working !!
WAW really has NO clue about the reality of trying to raise a family and work a full time job and the financial resources it takes. If the EX's place wasnt paid off and given to him, he wouldnt even have a roof over his head. Since the WAW was exclaiming she didnt want to "move backwards" anymore, it sure is funny to see thats exactly where she's placed herself.
