tired of this

MP,

Thanks for the article. It was interesting. I think maybe my asessment is a little off. I know fight or flight is a responce to an immediate stressor. Obviously this is a more "chronic" stress. It was really my immediate take, but it's flawed. I think the cowardice I attribute to her desire to run is still on the money.

Pook, thanks for the edit. I agree I was painting with a broad brush. Obviously, there are a lot of moments of courage that went into getting this far along. So maybe it's a temporary yellow streak.

Pin,

What you said is really at the heart of my problem. I know she is a pessimist. If that doesn't change, our outlook on life and the R are destined conflict. Should we eventually reconcile, how long will it be before her defeatist attitude leads her back to starting her internal WA script again. She's very adept at keeping it in. I'm torn about all of this. I know I will be done if this happens again. I guess at least the kids will be older, hopefully old enough to alleviate my main concern at this point.

Like I said, this had a distinctly foggy feel to it.
