Swede, Thanks for giving me hope. It's taking me a while to catch on but I realize that GAL is important. Its been hard to deal with all the life changes at once when you're abruptly asked to leave not to mention the emotions. I've been reading where the WAW had the same emotional issues but went through the grieving process months before. It seems so unreasonable not to tell your spouse how unhappy you are before you get to the point of separation and contemplating divorce.....obviously I'm not the expert on relationships.
