I start to think about this, W is showing me all the things i dont like about her, and it makes it easier. Like many here, my W still has her own issues to deal with. She obviously detached first, but it does not appear she is dealing with her issues. Nothing I can do about it though.

Perfect love isn't finding the perfect person, but perfectly loving an imperfect person.
BTW, has anyone read The Seven Levels of Intimacy by Matt Kelly? If so, any recommendations?
