Afraid I have waited too long

[Maritimer]

Try not to sweat it, you treated her like a friendly neighbor that needed a helping hand. You can do 180 on other aspects of your life but keep your morals. Helping someone else out in a time of need is a noble trait and the right thing to do. Im surprised you got a thank you!

I understand how tempting it would have been to drive away while she needed help, It's not our job to "teach a lesson" to our spouse, or to "show them the consequences" of their choices. Life does that.

Nothing worse than the eye rolling.. Her walls are up and she is trying her best to dislike you. Everything will be your fault and you are the devil in her world. Im amazed how someone that loved you, choose you to be their spouse can switch to someone so full of anger and despise once they made up the mind to leave the relationship. Truly mind blowing.

It took about a full year before my spouse spoke to me in a civil non condescending tone, A real ice queen towards me.

RT left a great quote on my thread a while back that I remember vividly.

“All ice eventually melts when greeted with warmth my friend.”

Hold your head up high, you did good!
