In home separation? Off / On? Still WAW? Dunno

Yeah, nothing like finding out something the hard way.

Communication is so important in all our relationships, friends and family included.

The bitching thing is funny though, because I used to have a hard time figuring out why we couldn't just fix something that could so easily be fixed.

You know the silly stupid things that would annoy you where in your head you'd be thinking, 'you don't say a word when something you wanna watch is on TV, but when I'm watching something, that's when you start bitching (usually about my family as well)'.

You wouldn't even notice if it was a coincidence, but when it becomes a habit

I should have been listening, validating and letting my W enjoy her bitching session instead of trying to fix something they didn't want to be fixed.


But you're right about this lonely event being a good lesson, 'cause if this hadn't have happened to me, then I would never have stepped back & found myself - I was on a fast track to become one of those goober dads, who let their wives buy their clothes and embarrass their kids without even trying.

I've got my kids, friends, family, running, cycling, a teaching career and a new chapter with or without my W to look forward to in my life.

Thanks Cutter

I'm glad I'm learning this now at 34 and not in my senior years
