I'm convinced in many cases it's some kind of physical or mental malady that is currently not understood. Maybe it never will be, but I suspect that some day we will understand these things better. We'll identify the problem before it goes too far and address it through medical intervention. Now that doesn't apply to all situations of course, there are cases of mental and physical abuse that certainly warrant a spouse leaving. But in most of the sitches here where the spouse has basically been body-snatched and re-written history, no that is not normal.

But its crazy how a gorgeous wealthy healthy doctor thinks Im a catch but a woman supported by me, who shares a child with me doesn't see it.... I tell people my goals they say thats awesome! I tell wife she says thats your ego.


It comes down to the respect issue Sandi talks about a lot. Your W for whatever reason has lost respect for you, and as such, nothing you say or do is good enough for her. It's sad when a stranger has more respect for you than the person you've been married to for years, but nevertheless here we are. My ex is showing me much more respect now then she has since BD, so that does change as well. It's come back slowly and in phases. Is it because I've changed? Maybe but I think it has more to do with her slowly emerging from the fog.
