Good morning Brit..........Its been a long time since I have posted in here, altho I do follow a few situations. Your Title ( I'm a WAW who wants back ) grabbed my attention immediately.

I mentally checked out of my marriage about 6 months before I left my husband in 2007. We have a long history........of ups and downs.
Been together since our teens....We are now in our late 50's. I walked away ( was actually pushed away )but very glad just to get out....U know ... I needed some space, some time to think, anything just to clear my head. I also wished that he would find someone to make him happy because he certainly wasnt happy with me, nor I with Him. We had both lost respect for each other...which led to many many arguments. I finally said I had HAD enough!!

As a WAW all I wanted was space......time to be able to breath again, and he gave me that, he gave me time to miss him.

We didnt have OP involved.... ( altho we could have had ) This is the big difference in our situation.

To make a long story short as I'm short on time. The divorce was stopped, and we remain married ( happily ) It took alot of work on ME, with the help of this board and MWD's books. You can do this..if your marriage does not reach R, you will come out of it a better person.

Good Luck
