Yes Crossbar there is a good chance of that happening but if we heal or the marriage ends I am taking the proper steps so I can look back with no regrets.


I finally broke through the fog but just for a moment. I made my WW cry not using anger, no insults, I used reality. It was the first time I heard her cry in a long time. Even when she left it was without a tear. It broke my heart but I knew I couldn't back down. I burst the fantasy bubble on her "fair" divorce (She gets everything plus I give her money) and I backed her into a corner with her wayward nonsense. The housing market is way down and our house and rental property have negative equity. In her dream world I would pay her to keep both houses. The reality is she files a quit claim deed on both houses and I sue her for half of the debt.

With the wayward stuff I noticed a pattern in what she says. Every time we talk I think back to the conversation. Then I think about what I said and how I could have said it better because I know it will come up again. Every conversation we have is basically the same one over and over again. It seems waywards have a script they use and when you get them off the script they get tripped up then the "God is guiding me" stuff starts. We are to the point now where she is realizing what she says no longer affects me and am gaining control of the situation.


This thing ain't over yet.
