Work thread for Jack - LBS Stages

Interesting thoughts for sure. I'm trying to see where I am at in this journey myself.

It seems looking back that it's been 3 seperate journey's from the first waw 15 years ago, to the 2nd 2.5 years ago to the latest 6 months ago, and yet they all seem to roll into one.

I'm in the same boat, I've had multiple situations as well and i am trying to learn from it and continue on. I must admit, i'm hopeful for my WAW to come back, but in the end its what i learn from it and how i continue that is the thing that will make me grow with or without her.

I wanted her to have to need me, while I am just now realizing she doesn't and shouldn't for her mental health. I am struggling some with that fact.

I also echoed this sentiment. In my case my WAW wanted what i thought were unreasonable things. I took her desires in, but my expected timeframe was not what her timeframe is and thus off she went presumably to seek her individual desires. I kept thinking that she'd fail or that she'd see that the move out didn't change her problems (i still think the latter on some of her stated problems) and then come back, but in the end, I decided to keep pushing my agenda forward and then perhaps we will be in the same place down the path even if its a separate path from now to then.



Either way, i see myself going in and out of these phases in no particular order.
