After a point, continuing to ask for forgiveness is like begging. That is not the picture of you she needs to see. If she won't forgive you, then it means she wants to hold on to it for a reason. Some WAW'S hold to unforgivenss b/c they want to have a list of grudges against their LBH'S. The longer the list.....the more justified she feels in divorcing him. Besides, if she forgives you, it just might put a little pressure on her own faults, IDK, b/c some WAW's just don't see their own.

Who are you doing these chores for? Don't do this to score points with her. If it is for yourself......that's fine.

trying to validate my Ws feelings more though this one is tough at us goes against how I feel


Can you give an example?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
