Quote: ------------------------------------------------- C's advice: Drop the Internet. Quit reading books. Don't take crap. Do things for BB without expecting anything in return. Stay out of her money issues. If you need to, move on. -------------------------------------------------
If you were looking for internet dates, then I would agree with #1. Otherwise, ignore it.
If you spent all your time reading books that railed against spouses by assigning blame ( plenty of 'rant' books out there) then I would agree with #2. Otherwise ignore it.
I agree with #3.
On #4, I agree with the premise, with the stipulation that you ask for what you want from BB rather than trying to work up to it.
#5 I have maintained from the beginning. Separate your finances and let her spend herself broke. Then she can go back to work to pay her half of the bills. You can't fix her habit.
#6 Fix what you need to fix on your side of the issues. Give it a year, then move on if need be. Regardless of the plan, you need to have one.
All the best, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
