Gunny we earned the title the same way. This is not old home week so I’ll dispense with the usual where, when and what BN.
It should not have surprised me that many of the principals burned into my being then and in subsequent training have applied to rescuing me from the abyss and maintaining my sanity. Even the General Orders can be applied. Here also applies your MC aplomb.
Cease focusing on what she is doing, MLC or WAW does not matter at this time; focus instead on what you are doing. Show her the man she is foolish to leave behind. Show do not tell. If it does not distract or impede maintain peripheral awareness of her and her actions, focus instead and make it apparent you are focusing on improving you.
She has told you what her issues are. Start there. What can you change that will: a. require minimum effort b. have the greatest impact
Pick a couple that will provide the most traction do the 180 consistently for you, make the change permanent. When it is permanent pick another and begin again. Do not try to show her. Be confident she will notice.
Accept that you will likely be separated for a time. Keep your focus. Apply the 37 rules as guidelines just as you would the General Orders.
There is no quick fix, no magic trick there is only the work to be accomplished the effort to be expended. Every relationship is not saved; frankly only few are and you decide when you are done no one else.
