ROE: Sorry to have met you. I too think my W is somewhere between WAW/WW/MLC. She has symptoms of all three. I feel for you. I'm sorry to hear that your GAL is having a hard time lifting off. I tell you once you get it going it will be great. I recommend doing anything different. If you wear jeans usually start wearing dress pants, if you shop at Walmart go to Target, if you buy coffee at Starbucks - carry a thermos. Breaking old patterns/routines can really launch you.
I too was a miserable mess after the BD. I made all the same mistakes as many, I took drastic steps to expose my W EA, including snooping and manipulation/deception.
My pastor gave me a copy of DB and GAL went into high gear. I was running a little, now I'm in the best shape of my life and I look great, regularly buying new stylish clothes. I not only caught up on all my neglected house projects but my home looks awesome and I've started a house reno, I bought a motorcycle, started regularly seeing old friends and made new friends too. I still struggle with detachment, but my confidence has soared and I feel great. People around me are astonished.
So change it up, call an old friend out of the blue. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, buy some new clothes, quit texting and phone someone, play a new sport, start a small business/work some overtime.
I promise the benefits will come pouring in.
