No need to stew, the answer is yes. In 2008, my bad behavior caught up with me and I had to stop being an a$$hole. When I stopped the bad behavior I replaced it with a weak compliant behavior. I've been this way for 7 years, but this past year was the worst with her considering divorce. I think I am afraid of my wife. The EA/PA really did a job on my head.
This must be one of my goals. I will begin detaching by the spring, I sense its close and with it the opportunity to a stronger man, a better version of me.
