Story and Symptoms of WAW/MLC Part 3

[Rose888]

Your situation reminds me a bit of mine. No affair, no girls/boys gone wild, no rudeness or disrespect. Just a spouse who is done.

And I think you are asking the wrong questions.

Your wife is saying she doesn’t want to live with a man who is moody, very critical, leaves all the parenting to her (or did until BD), and relies on her working an emotionally draining job to provide financial stability and health insurance for the family.

You don’t need to be talking about what you need from her in order to take her back. You need to be asking how you can develop empathy to understand how your words and actions affected her and how you can 180 your behaviors so you are a person who is emotionally healthy to be in a relationship with.

Stay focused on your side of the street. It’s plenty messy.

And that’s the beauty of divorce busting—cleaning up our stuff, without worrying about our partner’s stuff—can dramatically improve our relationship.
