Tornado in Mich? That's almost like saying tornado in ND...
While I do not want to emphasize the "respect" thing too much, I have to agree that the "straw" in my sitch was that very point. Trying to have convo with my W over the past 5 years, only to be cut short (like two minutes into something) by phone calls from her work, her bff, her side of family, and people walking into our house (our door is always open), kids needs (read WANTS), etc.
It was always there, but either I just became less tolerant or it became more common... I can't be sure. And yes, she would be more attentive to these disruptions and share with her friends, rather than sharing with me.
Anyhow... I can appreciate that you've popped in here. What brought you here?
There are other WAS who have been here and spoken their thoughts. Did you find that you went from WAW to LBW?
In your sitch... what happened that you became a WAW? What were you running from or maybe running to?
