I fit the description of the WAW, but HE left .

You and I have some things in common. I was the walk away wife, but after giving up on us and feeling so hopeless that divorce actually looked like the lesser of two evils, I never stopped talking til I was blue, nagging and begging, and now I too am the one who is trying to save the marriage while he's looking to move on.

How do you address it effectively? I don't know, but what have you done to make those small improvements along the way? Maybe that's your best guide.

Empathy for your wish for companionship, appreciation, and sex - I long for the same things.

Sorry it's been a month since your posts - these boards aren't as busy as I'd hoped. But there is at least one person here wishing you well. Hope the new year brings some new hope.
