This0is0fine,
She isnt an asshole, brother.
She is a sensitive, kindhearted, dynamic child of god. The affairs and the deception are objects of great shame to her. She only wants to be happy and feel complete. She loves helping others, and is beloved by anyone who knows her.
She wakes up every day, full of aspirations and hope. She works so hard. She struggles to love herself. Its easier for her to love animals, run restaurants, excercise, and focus on the places where she didnt fail.
She cant live with herself and face it. Ive tried to force her. She wants to run away from the past. I keep reminding her.
Thats me, trying to make her choices for her. Thats me being wrong.
I cant save her or us, but I can save me and accept the dynamic truth of who she is. Who I am.
If I can do that and stay, I will.
Maybe that will be where I find something like healing. Maybe it will just keep delaying my healing. Healing will happen either way, eventually.
I almost immediately sort of regretted just throwing shade at your wife. I know insulting the WS isn't generally helpful to the BS.
She might be kind and sensitive to all, but she is doing that, multiple times, without regard for you.
She could be the most giving person ever, but if she is willing to give herself to anyone, what does she have left to give you?
She just doesn't have a constant visibility and care for you, her husband. She doesn't consider you before others. This is an ongoing pattern, and not one you have provided much evidence of her trying to change.
