I love the advice in these threads. Thank you all for the responses.
My biggest question of the most recent responses is around some of what Sandi2 said and what some in here are saying. When is the right time to have conversations with a wayward wife. I have been walking out of the room when she enters, not paying much attention and trying to be scarce. It feels cold to me. I feel like the Wayward advice is different than what I read in DB. It seems like WW advice is much stricter toward them. I could be misreading.
As for my GAL I just started this process last week. We set up a schedule which we didn’t have before and will be jumping in fully to GAL. I have been home every night over the last 3-4 months unless traveling for work to make sure I spend time with S6.
Sandi's rules for dealing with a WW is much more of a tough love approach than is straui up DBing. But remember that Sandi was a former WW. Her tactics were from knowing herself how she needed to be handled by her LBH during her wayward period. She saw both sides. At first her LBH was like most of us and rolled over for her in an effort to appease her. It wasn't until he toughened up, started appearing to not give a crap, and started commanding respect that she finally, slowly started to come around.
Keep reading her writings! There's gold in them. I had the privilege of having her directly guiding me in my threads, and her advice was phenomenal. Unfortunately she hasn't posted in quite a while, but luckily her writings are still with us.
WWs and WAWs need to be dealt with a little differently. That's one message that Sandi really tried to bring. So yes at times you might feel a little cold. As I said before, to me in cases like yours, that is better than being to far the other direction. Which is what most of us tend to lean towards especially early on.
