Collin, you could be my brother from another... I'm behind you in the timeline, but very similar in my sitch with W and inability to handle it. I pull back, try to get a life and do my own thing - she throws me a bone, I lap it up... boom, spew, arguments, S talk. Plus, WWs seem to like stopping you working on yourself. They're nice, we do what we think are acts of service (in reality we're just being their servant, we respond, but it is just pursuit and it means we don't get off the roller coaster.
I know what I'm doing wrong, I'm just on the journey to get the balls to do what's right. I walk the same beam, I've walked on many eggshells over the years. Listen to the vets. If you can act on what they say, so much the better I'm hoping I'll be there soon.
