Wife left two days before our wedding anniversary!

Sunmoon,

One of the issues my W has is that I was anti-social. I prefer to interact within an intimate circle. It's where I really come alive. And yes, I like my alone time too. But, I don't think that makes me anti-social by any means. It also probably doesn't help that this intimate circle includes her and common friends. And these interactions lately had become less frequent which I guess didn't help matters. There is always a push from my W to make friends not connected to her. That's part of my GAL strategy. Not because she wants it but because I believe it is right thing to do.

Perhaps, this is why she started making a whole new life for herself separate to me back in her hometown when she used to visit. Making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. This was just a year or so ago-since our relationship started going downhill. I've always encouraged to be herself-she is the outgoing, more social type and I see no need to repress that. In fact, I consider it one of our strengths as a couple-I'm the deep conversationalist and she's the social butterfly. I guess she saw the grass as too green to miss.

Thanks for your words of encouragement-they made me break a smile.
