I think WAWs do alot of things to reaffirm they have made the right decisions. "hiding" emotions,IMO, is one of them.
In some ways, I feel like they go through a similar emotional gambit. Just as we do our best to not act out of negative emotions towards them, they do the same with positive emotions.
It's like they mirror us. Same thing.. Just backwards.
I also think we all feel abandoned and rejected. What are you doing for yourself lately?
Also.. In regards to getting what you "deserve".. Don't let overpower what you "want". The two might not always match up.
In my sitch, I DESERVED half.. But all the banter was causing such emotional distress that I WANTED that emotional stability more!
What does WLA want right now?
