Wow your situation is a lot like mine. My w was dependent on me for everything the first 15 years. She didn’t have many close friends and her sister was out of town. That turned into she lost her identity and she was just LH’s husband. The funny thing is now she is dependent on her parents. She does everything with them.

She still respects you so that is good. Women can’t love a man they don’t respect. Sandi is a big advocate of that statement. All my advice on here revolves around respect. Guys that hand over their balls and rollover like a doormat have no chance.

You have to set her free and live your life like she’s never coming back. Isn’t that the true testament of love? Giving her what she asked for with zero resistance.
