Its strange that you say this. Im not sure 'being helpful' is a great approach to either.

Paying for dance lessons for your daughter? Sure thats reasonable.
But Im not sure about trying to be friends with either a WAW or WW.......


To me, a WAW is a sad, broken women that has simply given up on their husbands. They have tried for years, but feel that they can't get through to them and their husbands will never change. They are sad and heartbroken. They feel that they have no other choice than to leave and protect themselves.

It would seem that when a husband has "become awake" and goes to the WAW with solutions to try and save the M, she would be a lot more receptive to that offer. So that is what I was trying to do with that approach. Being caring and thoughtful was not something that I did very much in the M, so that was a 180 that I was implementing.

Once I realized that she is a WW, it changes everything. She won't be receptive to anything and my very presence repulses her. Every time I had done something nice or said something nice, I did not know that it was making her mad and probably driving her further away.

That is why I am here now. I have been treating her so nice, thinking she was a WAW and maybe I could "love" her back. Now that I know she is a WW, I have probably done more damage and don't know where to go from here.

I think that if I don't confront her and just drop the rope, she will get suspicious as to why I would all of a sudden disappear from that friendly relationship that we had. Maybe she would think that I found out about the A, but don't have the b@lls to confront her. IDK
