My WAW story

[lovethehub]

I know well the feeling of "coming alive" again as a WAW. I felt like I had quit existing my way through life and started living again. When my H asked me to stop doing certain things, I felt like he wanted me to shove myself back inside a box I no longer fit in.

You are going to have to be careful because it may feel to her like she has to give up herself in order to stay in the M, give up what makes her happy. While this isn't true, it is probably how she feels. Be careful not to place any demands on her at this time regarding your M, they will most likely drive her away or at least make it take a lot longer until she is ready to R.
