So I have been reading through some of the Veteran’s Posts and am wondering if GAL actually caused some of my marital problems to begin with.
I look back over my marriage to see how we started down this path. I know we were “growing apart” long before his significant travel started. I was busy and happy except I was lonely. I invited him to participate in the things I was doing and even proposed some I thought he would be interested in but he always turned me down. I kept doing what I was doing and the distance grew. I look back to see what he was doing and it wasn’t much – work and occasional happy hour and then the travel. He complained that we always took the same types of vacations but when I asked what he wanted to do he gave no interest in selecting something different. Then his significant travel started and we grew even more apart and then entered the OW.
I took a huge step away from that life I had when I learned of OW and now am trying to rebuild but I now questions what happened.
