Epilogue

[NTX_Dad]

Dang TM, that post almost brought tears to my eyes. It really hit home for me.

My W had another analogy a couple of months ago. She said the pains and the occasional insults over the years were like tiny needles. A single one was uncomfortable, but wasn't debilitation. Now she has 1000s of needles stuck in her body and now it hurts so bad her entire body hurts and cannot take anymore.

I have discovered over the summer that she was putting all of the blame on me and that I was accepting it, and I have been working really hard to fix "me". However, I am finally starting to realize that while I did make some mistakes, she was exaggerating them to a degree and that she shares in the blame. I still don't know yet if she realizes this or not.

She's said she's not happy with her life, but when I ask her questions about why, she cannot even come up with a reason why or what's causing. She even admitted once she's not even sure it's our marriage that makes her unhappy.
