I will run along side the journey until I reach my limit.

Given she has not admitted to the A, I just need to detach and GAL.



Oh, don't get me wrong, Sho -- I agree with *all* of that. I just am encouraging you to have healthy limits. Healthy for you, healthy for your kids . . . and not let "I don't want to make her mad" be your overarching driver.

Your wife actually sounds a lot like mine. Mine too had a mini-MLC, I think, in looking back on it. She had gone from living with her parents to marrying and living with me, and then we raised 4 kids together. I don't think she ever found out who (my wife's first name) is.
