Hmmm. Well, i am kinda in the same boat right at the moment. Her paycheck is barely enough to cover her rent. So groceries and other stuff is coming from joint acct. She is very frugal and always has been but she is really not having to go it alone. I am going to be working to get her off joint acct. But that just creates problems with getting money to support S13 when he is there. Ugh. Probably stay status quo for the time being.

As far as what I would do differently? I would have to say nothing so far. Lord knows I made many mistakes before but now just trying things and see what works.

My sitch seems different from almost all the others here in that my WAW still seems concerned with me being ok without her. Possibly easing me to D, or just keeping me happy until she decide if she wants to D. Or just relieved to be free at this time and possibly lettin g some anger go. Mind reading, but there is no confrontation, or anything. It is like we are just continuing our roommate/friend relationship (her words).

I am just trying to not be her emotional pillow.

Ahhh. Thought of one thing. There were a couple interactions where I appeared more sullen than upbeat and carefree. I would have rather acted "as if". But I can change that.

I wish you luck. Hop on and dont forget your barf bag.


Fight the good fight no matter the quality of your opponent.
