I do still want to be a lighthouse for my W. Is the best way to do this just to appear happy and content, and show her that I am not a horrible person after all?


Life is too precious and short to spend it wondering what other people think. As the old saying goes: "Opinions are like a$$holes, everybody's got one."

You have to quit pondering what will make your W turn towards you. A strong confidant man will do that. And not somebody wishy washy pussy footing around. You cannot nice your W back. No amount of hoovering, cleaning, laundry work will say to her that's my man. There is no silver bullet, magic word that will reset your situation.

Just pour yourself a nice tall glass of STFU juice and focus on yourself, your growth and development. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and get your a$$ in gear.
