What you must understand, Denver, is that I am not the same man she left. I have changed and she knows it. When you become the man you want to be, your WAW will not be the only one who treats you differently. Your life will change for the better.
For me this crises has been a personal challenge; it has also been an opportunity. No matter what happens, I will ultimately benefit from this experience.
I have tried to look at this crisis as a personal challenge as well, but not doing so well so far. I am still struggling with the idea of what might occur if W's EA turns into PA. I am still have mini mental breakdowns multiple times per day and am physically sick to my stomach about what is happening. It seems like a bad dream. I probably am not far enough along here. I hope that I do as well as you are now.
Do you know if you will be able to forgive your wife at any point? Will you take her back? I feel like there may be a point for me that I may not be able to ever forgive her for the pain that she is causing me right now. At the same time, I feel A LOT of guilt for my behavior and driving her to do this in many ways. I'm beating myself up pretty badly.
