betterm,

I don't really have any answers for you. I think your wife has a lot more "game playing" in store for you because you're relatively early in the process. I wouldn't willingly fund her activities during this period of time because she'll take you for everything that she can.

What I wonder about is the fact that this has happened so early in your marriage. I don't know much about WW (or maybe WAW) psychology, but I have to wonder why this came about at such an early stage in your marriage. I'm not saying that you've done anything wrong; it's just that it seems like the WW/WAW behavior generally occurs at later stages in the marriage. Has she remained in contact with an old boyfriend or is she the victim of childhood abuse of some sort?

I don't know that it's important to understand the psychology behind it, but it just seems odd that it's happening so early in marriage and there are no children. Again, I'm not pointing any fingers, I don't think you've done anything wrong; I just wonder if your situation is a little different than the typical WW.
