I have read several posts here that have mentioned WS's having a final crash. Can anyone tell me what this might resemble? Or elaborate on it?

You can read my thread on the recovery board titled "What did I just do"

Thank you

A final crash c/b:

1. Death
2. Divorce
3. Debit
4. Good plan A
5. Good plan A & plan B
6. Jail
7. Longer incarceration
8. OP moves on.

Slow burn:
1. Death
2. Divorce
3. Debit
4. False recoveries
5. BS giving all based on a crumb of the WS
6. Good plan A
7. Good plan A & plan B
8. Reality setting in.
9. A gets boring
10. OP moves on

See many are similar. The key is how the WS reacts. If they insist on being a WS, it w/b a slow burn.

There is nothing here you can make happen except to take care of yourself. You can do some background checks on the OP, expose, secure your finances, create your own support group, get w/IC or MC, get on ADs, checked/treated for STDs as needed, read, identify your personal boundaries, check out your D options, move forward with your life, make your self improved changes for you not the WS and reverse babble as needed.

I read your 1st page in the recovery thread. You are not in recovery now. Haven't been from what I can see. What your WS is babbling has been heard before. Mine did the same. It was a slow burn. It isn't that he doesn't know.....the A has him by his balls and he can't stop the downward trend.

The best you can do it take yourself out of that loop and let him fall on his own. Flat on his face....it may take you down the bankruptcy route so secure your finances.

Be safe.

take care,
L.
