Believe none of what she says and half of what she does.
Can you please elaborate on this Cadet? I'm not sure that I can put it to context here.
It is a general rule that I would say applies all the time.
You gave things that you feel you have done wrong that are the "CAUSE" of this marital breakup. And you should work on those things. They may or may not FIX your marriage.
However your wife also is the cause of some of these issues and the breakup of your marriage.
Marriage is 50/50 and you can not give more than 100% of your 1/2 of the marriage, she must also do the same.
You can not FIX her half, she must do that.
Seems to me that communication is a problem in your marriage. Maybe your wife is not being as honest as you think. Maybe there are some CONTROL issues at work here and also co-dependcy.
So why do you feel that what I wrote does not apply?
