I have managed to read all of your threads and my W is not WW as there is no affair in sight.
Can you read the above definition and still think your W is not wayward?
I'm pretty sure I stated that a woman does not have to be in an affair (or her H detect it) in order to fit the description of waywardness. True, in most of what we read on the board, the WW is usually involved in some type of an A, but there are other ways of rebelling.
Believe what you will. I just think it's a shame that you are so beaten down that you are willing to accept all the blame in this situation. You have convinced yourself that she's right and she's leaving b/c of your bad behavior. She's leaving b/c of her own bad behavior.....and there not being any consequences.
Sadly, she is teaching your daughters to have the same feelings and show the same disrespect toward you. And, as long as there are never any consequences, bad behavior continues.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
