AnotherStander, I agree with the point that OP is almost always a step down. I also agree that WAS wants LBS out of their lives and they think that it would make them happier. My H didn’t blame me for everything. He had the specific complaints, which he thought caused the disconnect in everything else. He said that there is nothing I can do to change what he thought was wrong in our R. In other words, he didn’t believe that I could change. I think he started to doubt himself a little. I feel that the changes in me are noticeable and permanent. Our mutual friend told me that he saw the changes, and this is something that he would not normally notice.

I agree that it takes a lot of time for WAS to believe in changes.

Tallula, thanks for stopping by. I’ve been following your sitch and I’m happy that your H is finally seeing that not everything is your fault. I hope that one day my H will see that the problems in our M were not only just my problems, but he had his contribution too. And if he is willing to address this, I might still be there.
