I really want to convey that it is not about W and I anymore. I want to address that and make it clear on what I am thinking and where I stand without coming across like a jerk.


How can you convey it through your actions, instead of having a relationship conversation?

I am frustrated that I am continuing to let W cake eat and feel like I am placating her when she talks about tackling the incoming debt together, figuring out plans for the house, D4 education, and plans for when I go on dates. I strongly feel that this is ALL temp checking.


What are you doing while she's talking about these things? What do you mean she plans for when you go on dates?

If you feel she is temp checking...….then how are you suppose to respond?

Quote
Key holidays and celebration dates are coming up and I am going to keep it as cordial as possible but I will not be acknowledging dates like our W anniversary and V-day. I am not even sure I want to acknowledge her b-day.


Explain how you plan to keep key holidays/celebrations cordial.

Btw, would you put your ages, date of bomb drop, EA/PA, whether separated, etc. in your signature line? Thanks!

So, Pain...….what are your short term goals here? How long do you intend to live under this strain? What do you plan to do about all that anger you feel? It's really unhealthy, you know.


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!
