WAW and the Big D

[Bdog37]

Thanks Chris73,

I remember reading your sitch and thinking about how much both of ours had in common. I also leaned on my wife to take care of the household duties and make most of the "executive" decisions in regards to the family. I too would help out when asked, but it just wasn't enough.

I feel like women in these situations will do and say anything to justify their decision to exit the marriage and offload some of the responsibility on the LBH so that they don't have to bear 100% of the guilt for destroying the family.

I agree with this and think it is the main reason for her lashing out at me all the time. However, I still try to remain friendly. Not sure why, but I want to be the bigger person when all this is said and done. It just upsets me so much coming from her. Anyone else in this world can call me every name in the book and it wouldn't bother me one bit. Hearing some of the things she has said to me just strikes so hard in my heart. I'm afraid that eventually I am going to resent the woman I once loved because of her actions and become cold towards OW as well....ugh. Just hate how I allow her to ruin my day. She isn't worth it and shouldn't have this much power over me.
