Hi Blu, I am glad that you were able to get out the dark times. I have a different perspective on this issue. I am a recovering Nice Guy facing a WAW situation. After, two years of lashing out at me, and failed therapy, I got the ILUBINILWY talk. During that time I pursued just like you did to your husband, which just pushed my W away. I'm in the process of fixing my Nice Guy tendencies, and trying to save my marriage and our family with two kids.
I won't hijack your thread, but I'm willing to be a resource to you if you want insight into the Nice Guy issue.(Although I've never had an EA or PA).
