Kevin,

A question if you will...WHY did you apologise again????!

You had already done so, there was no need to do it again. You probably brought everything to the front of her mind again You apologise ONCE and then leave it...it takes some people a few days for the apology to sink in and the anger to dissipate. I normally expect my H to take @ 3 days to get over an argument, longer if I'm a ditz and won't let things drop. If he takes less time than that then I look at it as a HUGE positive I was in the clear in a couple of hours Mon. night...then I spun it back up again Tues. and he finally started letting it completely go yesterday. Today all seems well again

You have been wisely advised to back off from W for awhile, detatch from the sitch...let her go it on her own for a bit (no lending her your truck, giving her money, being a convenient babysitter etc). Right now you are making it to easy for her to manipulate/use you in a NEGATIVE way. Stop making it easy for her.

I'm for the therapy and AD's too. That whole machismo thing drives me nuts...if more men would learn to stop worrying about their image or what other men might think the world would probably be a better place; or at least us women would't beat ourselves up trying to GUESS what is going on with you all the time.
