Does anyone think that WW can be hereditary? My wifes grandmother left her husband and her 2 daughters with a man and then came back later. My wifes mother had an affair on her step dad and walked out on her real dad.
Waywardness is not a gene that is inherited. It is the state of one's mental attitude and overt behavior. It comes from one's free will, whereas, heredity is not a choice. Let me add, however, that her mother and grandmother's behavior could have strongly influenced her future choices & behavior.........good or bad. They were the closest models of what one does when they are unhappy, or whatever was the case. I believe most behaviors are learned, and if there are no legitimate mental health issues that have affected the brain.......then it comes from their own volition.
If you will google waywardness and see the synonyms, I think it will better explain the use of this word in describing a "wayward" spouse.
Definition of wayward 1 : following one's own capricious, wanton, or depraved inclinations : ungovernable a wayward child 2 : following no clear principle or law : unpredictable 3 : opposite to what is desired or expected : untoward wayward fate
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
