TL2,

Sadly, I am seeing that the W is also trying to treat me as someone who is standing in their way because she is out just for herself.

One of the biggest challenges I faced looking back now is that it takes some of us a while to make the behavioral change from seeing our spouse as our spouse and start seeing them as an adversary who is primarily out for himself/herself.


Unfortunately, that is a challenge that took me far too long to realize. My W is just biding her time until she gets to the new base so she can "start over." I never wanted to believe she would behave like that. Never. And part of me, even after all this time, still doesn't. How stupid is that?

I think that my W fully believes that things are going to go her way with no fight from me. I don't want to fight, but I will do what it takes. Whatever it takes. That's my new mantra.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
