GAL doesn't mean "go out with the guys and feel like you're wasting money and do something you don't want to do." Your answer is in the last part of the quote..... If you want to go to the gym or do something on your own, then that's what you should do.
Thanks Jim. I think I discovered that on my own this weekend.
I'm not exactly sure what happened but I had some powerful thoughts this weekend and am in a great place this morning. More than anything I decided to take some responsibility for how my wife is feeling. Journaling that process seems to have made me realize that she is telling the truth about how she's feeling. I kept looking to blame her for going crazy, MLC, hormones, listening to a friend, etc. I think the truth is she's miserable and doesn't see things getting better as long as she's with me. My focus needs to be on changing the things I agree with and GAL whether she comes around or not.
