living with WAW who hasn't walked yet (2)

[Scorp7]

I too have always been an introspective guy, and a bit of a wordsmith. And I liked to think that if I could just put the riiiiight words together, in juuuust the right way . . . then my wife would see the error of her walls, re-fall madly back in love with me, end her foolishness and return to the marriage.

WORDS will have NO EFFECT on her in her current state, bro. At BEST you can land a little "truth dart" or two every week or two. That's it. You can't teach a wayward!!!

This seems to be a very common thing for the LBS. I was the EXACT same way and I still have thoughts pop into my head from time to time that if I can only say just the right words to my W that she will change her mind and give me a shot.

I really don't think there is ANYTHING you can SAY that will change the WAS's mind.

There was a quote I heard recently that goes something like "you can't talk yourself out of a situation you behaved yourself into". Your consistent actions will speak much louder than any words you can say or write.
