Michelle, I have read alot on this board about WAWs and their causes and justifications. I look back on my relationship and see many things I could and should change in my behavior (I'm working on them now), but I can see just as many things I wish my wife would change. The difference is, I would never consider walking off from my marriage. Why can some people overlook the negative aspects of a relationship while others dwell on them. Is there any particular personality type that is prone to be a WAS?
