I seem to have about half NGS, but a lot of things don't apply. Often I've stood my ground and gotten an apology from the W. But I can certainly say one thing that she mentioned in her litany of complaints (it was like she had a script) was when I would joke at a party or something "I'm Mr. her name"
So yeah, a lot of the nice guy things apparently irked her. And towards the end I was walking on egg shells and doing whatever I could for her.
But at least until things started getting bad, I would tell her I don't have time for something if I didn't. But sadly, I enjoyed doing things for her and when it came to her business, would bend over backwards to accommodate.
What's weird is that the W's assistant actually verbalized (well text-ilized?) about my manhood. It came 10 days after last contact - and out of the blue she said something to the effect "I've been going through my old texts - and you sure whine a lot for a man" - "then again you're not a man!". Oddly, my texts weren't whining but telling her I did what they had asked, and I'm done. Have a nice life.
I figure since the assistant has been acting as a proxy for the W, this is probably coming indirectly from the W.
Oh, did I say that she started reading romance novels about 2 years ago - and I could see a change in the way she related to me after several months? I never put 2 and 2 together, but honestly it's the same as porno - well it is porno - but with a fantasy that plays into the WW mentality.
Guys, if your W's start reading romance novels - step in and do something. Just my opinion.
