Wayward Wife, my addiction, advice needed

[trumpet]

gs9 - awesome wise words!

Was off yesterday from work, but trying to post just at work so I don't get 'who are you talking to?' questions at home.

Winter weather has arrived in WI! We're getting snow, so the counseling session got cancelled. Rescheduled for Sunday night.

My wife started to pick a fight with me on Friday morning. I mentioned 'are we still on for the session tonight?' and she went haywire that I called it a session. That's what the pastor wants us to do - commit to the process, and give it 4 months. So, I let the anger go, and just mentioned if we're going to work on the marriage we need to commit to it.

I did get an apology from her in a text in the PM - which is really out of sorts over the last month.

I can carry a happy conversation with her... but when it comes to anything about the marriage or our relationship, she either goes on the defense, or shuts down and walks away. She knows it's wrong, and from my snooping, she hasn't used her phone to contact him in the last week. No telling if she's still talking to him at work. She's gotten a little defensive about me working out early in the morning - she is overweight and out of shape from the Grave's disease, and now that she's recovering from it, she knows she has to work on it, but hasn't had much energy to do it.

It's kind of like a toddler that just pooped their pants. It felt good to have the release, and then it feels great that it's warm... but sooner or later it gets uncomfortable, it starts to really stink, and then the poop starts to get cold and crusty... and they'll have to deal with it.
