Thanks complex, your post is excellent. I suppose I have spent so much time previously 'being right' that I didn't stop to realise how my wife would see that. The other side of the coin, as you point out, is no one would like to feel inferior. I understand that...I just never considered it that way before.
Wow, what a realisation. I do need to work on that. I feel I'm moving to a better place. I'm less emotional right now, less reactive. I see good progress. I need to work on respect for my W, and also have her develop respect for me. I've read elsewhere that before reattracting my W that she needs to respect me. I'm trying to set boundaries to earn that from her. I sincerely wish this is the turning of the tide.
