Equalzr's WW. Still accepting advice! Pt 3

[equalzr]

I just realized that i have taken a step backwards in detaching. Things had become so bad with W's attitude, manipulation tactics, and her lashing out, that i had started giving longer responses in texts and in person.

I realized in the last few days that i was codependent on my W. I really didnt have a life outside of MR or being a father. Now i see why it has been so tough to fully let go/drop the rope. I have no expectatiins anymore, those are long gone as i realize shes moved on and is in a R with OM. Im at peace with doing everything I could to save M. No matter what, there is a part of me that longs for the R we had or and improved R2.0. I know she doesnt exist anymore, but i miss my friend and W.

Im learning so much in the last few weeks about myself, being a man, being a better husband, better father etc. I can only wonder why this information isnt taught to us well before we're married or in an R?
