Started crying. I asked if there was something specific that was bothering her, she said no. I said I understood how this time of year would be hard for her and that in a few days it will be over.
Mikey P I think it's really important you read up on validation. Your sentence above with just a tweak would have been perfect. "I understood how this time of year would be hard for her." Here you are indicating that you understand it's a difficult time of the year without trying to solve anything. The last part "that in a few days it will be over". You are trying to fix it. See the difference? Women do not want us fixing everything. They just want to be heard and understood.
Your situation is very similar to mine. I even think to an extent your W wants to have those feelings for you that she felt with OM. She just doesn't know that it won't magically happen. The mind is a very powerful tool. She has to believe she can or it won't happen.
You are going to have to dig down and fasten your seatbelt because you are going for a rollercoaster ride that many times you are going to want to get off. It is going to take a lot of patience and perseverance.
