Hi all,

My WH moved home and insists he is there for the kids, not me, so I need to put up with his moods, hate and filthy lies while I lovingly try to plan A and establish boundaries to protect my heart and my feelings.

If anyone has any tips please for reverse babble, I could really use your help.

If you want some background on who I'm playing this game with, go to WH moved home

Thank you for your time.

If this marriage is supposed to be in RECOVERY - I say:

DO NOT REVERSE BABBLE WHILE IN RECOVERY

You need marriage counseling, not reverse babble.

Pep,

I don't believe this M is in recovery at all. I believe WH is still in an active A.

Hi everyone, definately still an active EA at the minimum and not committed to recovery at all.

Packed his bags last night to leave and is being completely demanding, irrational and blaming me for everything including wars before I was born.

I had a major breakdown in the car this morning with him. He wouldn't let up and I lost it and screamed, cried and punched the car. My hand is sore, I feel terrbile and I am back feeling like I should just give him what he wants, the money and a ticket out of the M.

But, I don't think that's enough. I think he wants the M, just with me as a little mouse with no boundaries.

Sorry for the confusion, I wrongly thought that too when he came home frown
