My STBXW is the same exact way. A teacher and a behavioral specialist, with all the stress at work, and at home with a one year old, she wants to run away too. She said she should have switched careers six years ago, and seperated from me over a year ago. She wants to start a fresh life being a health coach consultant from home, live either in an apartment now, or a one acre plot, and grow saffron and lavender, and saffron. (She kills cactus) and "follow her heart" even though she requires gastric bypass (which she is also quitting for the 6th time) along with her nutrition plans, and 5th yoga program, is a slob around the home, but loves to criticize me on my parenting skills. But I say.... "Follow your feelings and your heart" and "live your dreams" Nothing wrong with that, but it takes personal commitment and discipline. Only time will tell.. But I wish her well. Wolfman... Follow your own path, I know its hard but really try to take the focus off of the WAW/WW. And rightfully put it back on yourself. Your partners choices, actions, and lack of moral principles and discretion are out of your control. Focus on what you can control. I know that there are two sides to every story I'm sure there's a lot of these women have legitimate reasons, that are justified in their own minds for their unhappiness, I'm sure some of them are legitimate and some of them aren't to you. but you have to operate from your principles and beliefs, and put your emotions aside because they will mislead you
