Discouraged67, 57

Been married for a while to a woman who has been very manipulative. She had a very rough childhood which caused here to develop abandonment and commitment issues that also caused her to blame everything that was wring in this relationship on me partially correct). She built up these emmotionally barriers that hardly ever came down, but when they do she is what every man is dreaming off. I've tried for so many years to find the key to bring these protective walls down, but to no avail. Gave up a lot of me along the way and can no longer take it. Need to get out and find someone who will love me for who and what I am and not try to change me.
