Quote: Merrick, do you think your W is AFRAID that her M could work, and that will require a lot of face-saving and backtracking from all of what she's been saying and doing? Just a thought I had.
Absolutely. The first time I knew I was in true danger of losing it all is when she told a few close friends that she wanted to separate or consider divorce. Just saying the words was a huge step for her and telling these friends was her equivalent of crossing the Rubicon. I honestly feel the "torture" she claims of being trapped by me is not so much my actions as an H, but the daily reminder of her conscience or the counterblance to all the reasons she has constructed to leave.
