Thanks for your post. Sorry I guess I was not clear enough. I was trying to portray what happened in the past. Now for me things are changing. I realize (too late obviously) that because we did not have good communication skills the my way/her way did not allow us to find compromises and/or lovingly "let go" so to support the other.
Now - we are separated - She truly is a WAW and is consumed in something as damaging as an affair.
So now I realize what has happened and I've been making changes. I know that the changes will benefit me and there is a small chance she will see some benefit to her as well.
I do totally realize that by stopping bad behaviors and learning some new good behaviors will this or other relationships flourish.
