Thanks Ioavva,

These points are very helpful - good possibilities and issues to think about. If my W took to apologiizing once in awhile, our R would be in much better shape, but I think she's a ways from there still.

I liked your sensitivity to the differences b/t the sitches with a WAW vs. a WAH, and imagine that you're early advice on my thread is on target - to avoid the romance and pursuit for now. Its more about me going dark, staying positive, and not letting her get the impression that I'm a spineless worm willing to merely wait for her.

I asked in part to see what my W might need to go thru to 'work thru' her own anger/resentment. I've seen some of this already: the depression, the reliance on friends, the nastiness (in person, not in letters! ), and rather than a life coach - counseling. Hopefully, she won't do the one-night stand or OM stuff, but then I'm not seeing an OW now either.

If she is blaming me for our finances (moderate debt), how might I ease this? I'm doing a good amount of extra work to pay off my share quickly. Is that too distant or cold, or might that be just the thing to quiet this worry?
