Hey Rick, are you sure you aren't Rick1956? (you and my H share the same name) The more I read of your sitch, the more I think we were in the same marriage.
I was depressed, angry and resentful a lot in my M. I could have been a WAW but just kept thinking H would finally "get it" and change. I didn't see that I had the power to change things by changing me. I was too wrapped up in his behavior being the cause of all my troubles.
Yes, it was exhausting maintaining that wall.
I have learned so much here.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
