Living with WAW who will not leave

[Casey]

Pilot,

Thanks for your reply. The more I think about it, the more I am thinking that a childcare-for-rent arrangement is a serious approach. Doesn't have to be physical either; but an attractive, young female living in the same house would definately get the insecurity going in the WAW. It certainly would imply that she (W) is replaceable, and such a future where another woman is raising our son is a distinct possibility.

More likely, I will have to bring my mother here. I talked to her about it but she is busy taking care of her mother. My W absolutely would have a fit at the thought of my mom raising our son; W does not like my mom at all.

I admire the way you have dealt with your WAW; that you are getting such positive results means you must be doing something right. Being more decisive is one of my 180 activities, doing a physical activity every day with my son is another. W told me before that she could never love me because I wasn't close to my son. Well, believe none of what you hear and half of what you see...

Don't really have an option for downsizing existing apartment; all the apartments in the complex are 2 bdrm. The rental market here is very tight because of the oil boom and the inflation has made it very difficult to get by on one income. I don't know how WAW will afford her fantasies, but at this point I don't really care. I don't want W to stay because she decides it is in her economic interest to do so. I agree about needing her gone for my sanity, and to increase attraction through giving 180s a chance to work on W who will notice the progress far more once she is on the other side of the fence.

BTW, what kind of aircraft do you own? My family owned a Piper Comanche when I was a child; both of my parents were instrument rated pilots and they used to take me along to aviation conferences all the time, which is how I ended up meeting Yeager and having him sign a paper model of the Bell X1 i had built myself...
