My first post - please be nice.

tjcran,

I actually think you're right that collin shouldn't view this as "one last shot" and that he should be working on himself. But, it sounds like he has a walkaway wife (WAW) and not a WW, and supposedly, the WAW requires a lighter touch.

My usual disclaimer applies, I don't know much about the DBing stuff.

Doodler, it doesn't matter to me how much you do/don't know. I'm just thankful for any help I can get and thankful for the support.

I too have been under the impression that a WAW is a different situation than a WW. And is handled more delicately. A lot of the posts on here talk about going dark, I just feel like that would push her away in this situation. Instead of continuing to make her feel unloved and validated. I want her to feel loved. Thus the hooking up the internet and stuff like that. I have however put my foot down about helping her move her stuff.
