[quote] I know many, many women who grew up very similar to your W, and they did not decide they wanted to "go find themselves" or "see what it's like living on her own". These statements are common excuses the WW makes, when the truth is she has a hidden agenda.
It's all about her. She thinks it's her time to focus on herself and do whatever it takes to be happy. So, she tries to convince you that she's been unhappy in her M, and perhaps she's never loved you. It's what we call "script", b/c these WW's say so many things as if they all were reading from the same script.
She has definitely tried to convince me that she's been unhappy in our marriage. She can't say for how long or how it started but it seems to coincide with her relationship with her coworker. I think I may not have been meeting get emotional needs so she turned to this other guy for that and not she thinks the only way to be happy is to find someone else.
We have MC this evening and honestly I don't care about going. The last couple of days I've felt that I don't care what happens in my MR anymore and I'm ready to stop trying to fix it. I don't know what happened but it was like a switch that flipped and I just felt like I'm done trying to fix this and only want to fix myself. I think it has to do with my limited contact with W over the last week. I'm ready to be happy and see what life has in store for me down the road. I'm sure that I'll cycle down again but for right now I'm trying to have a positive outlook on me and my life rather than clinging to my W.
