Welcome. I think you'll be glad you found us but wished you didn't have to be here. Sounds like you're off to a roaring start with the GAL'ing. I hope you're feeling as good about all those things you done for yourself as it sounds like you are.
Hope you've read DB/DR. If not, it would be a good idea to do it.
I thought I'd never have to us the word "Ex Wife", after 24 years I thought we had the odds beat . As much as I wish I could, I cannot just walk away.
Rather than deal with whatever my W was feeling, she just locked it away, let it build and submerged herself in World Of Warcraft. It started out with playing just a hour or two after dinner, then she gradually lost interest in going out, working on the house,in short doing just about anything she used to like doing.
It was so gradual I didn't twig to what was happening, I was busy dealing with what ever she dropped doing around the house and didn't clue in things were going south. The online friends pretty much replaced me and the kids to the point they now say "Mom spends more time with us now (about two hours a week)than when she living at home". In retrospect I see a lot of "could of, should of, would of" moments where certain actions might have helped, but that's something I can't change now. We never really fought about anything, now I wish we had so she could have at least opened up about what was pissing her offand deal with it....
