Chet,
I've been reading your comments this week...incredible how much your situation is similar to mine.
Except that I've been enduring my wife's boorish behavior for well over 20 years. It was only this past couple of years that I came across the book "Stop Walking on Eggshell" and then had the revelation that she's realy messed up. In addition, I see the same behavior in her mother. Go figure.
I'm also at my wits end. Nothing that I do or say will ever please her; any attempts to reach out only backfire. The most pain comes from figuring out that she has had emotional affairs throughout our marriage. She has also been carrying out a campaign of deception amongst our mutual friends and family, and our Bishop.
Like you, we were married in the Temple, so it's not so easy to move forward. Not sure how long I can hold out hope. Thanks for listening.
