I know what my 180's are because my W and i actually sat down last week for the first time since BD and told me some of the things that led us to this point.
1. I was too controlling. She would tell me she was going out with friends and she would be home at a certain time. If she was late i would call her and chew her out for always being late. I have already stopped doing that even before BD.
2. I am miserable at my current job and i would take it out on her when i got home from work. Very bad thing for me to do, but i continued even though i knew it was wrong. I have sent numerous resumes in to different companies. I need to set more career goals for myself.
3. I expected her to be my only emotional support system. I rarely ever went out with my friends and seemed to always want to sit at home and pout when she wanted to go out with hers. I have started reconnecting with some of my old friends again and have had a good time with them.
