Brubeck,

Thanks for the words and advice.

Been keeping away for a while. Catching up on your sitch. Holy sh!t, same freaking thing! Same. Freaking. Thing. My W also dropped my last name from her Facebook profile two months ago. It's like a damn script they all follow! I didn't have the same reaction you did, because my W is having a full blown PA, so seeing her go without her last name on FB is a drop in the bucket to me.


It is amazing how so many of these stories are the same. It's actually amazing how much my current sitch is to the one I went thru with my W about 8 years ago. She is doing much of the same things and the same way. Thinking about that time actually calmed me down about the facebook thing because I remembered she did the same thing back then. The main difference between then and now though is back then the EA was a 5 hour flight away and now the EA is either a 3 hour drive or in another office in her building. Still her actions are nearly identical thru most of this process.

I will concur with the others that you should keep your mouth shut. I know it's hard, really hard. You want to point things out to her, especially if the MLC has made her kind of dum dum at times. It's true, though - never let them see you sweat. Any challenge you offer looks like she's still got you on standby.


I am going to keep my mouth shut. I have done a good job so far and I will stay strong in that regard. I have maintained a positive and upbeat attitude around her which might make me look weak at times. I have also never managed to beg or plead with her about any of this. I have done all my crying away from her, so I have done good with that. Now I need to really work on GALing and detaching for myself.
