[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you spent the better part of your marriage bombed, and are now waking up to an "I just don't like you in that way" feeling?

I don't blame your wife for flipping out. Let me tell you something about high functioning addicts: it's SUCH as escape from doing the hard work. In anything. Relationships, jobs, childcare, life. Addicts exist in this haze that hides the fact that much of life is kind of a grind. It just is. The grind makes all the bright spots...little moments with your kids, victories at work, a good laugh with a friend...seem really bright. But the rest is just kind of meh. When addicts wake up and realize this, they're pissed and irritable and pouty. And you know what? The rest of us have been doing the heavy lifting all along.

Your posts are brief but it doesn't sound like you get that part yet. If you have a wife who stuck with you before and (God help her) still wants to, you're luckier than you probably deserve. So for Christ's sake man, get to counseling and work it out.[/quote]

Not the better part.  Maybe three years of 20.[/quote]
