I've been reading a lot of the posts here on MGTOW lately and I frequently see a lot of posters admitting to marrying (or falling for) what they thought was a NAWALT in their pre-MGTOW days. It's clear that at some point that NAWALT changed and became an AWALT, but I rarely come across any details.

So, if anyone wants to share their experience with a NAWALT to AWALT transformation, let's hear it! What was she like in the NAWALT phase, and what was it that made you realize she was an AWALT?

I'll start by describing an ex of mine that I dated a few years ago. In her NAWALT phase, she was cool-headed, eager to please, and an all around doting girlfriend. She genuinely seemed interested in my life and supported my various pursuits. When I needed space, all I had to do was request it and my wish was granted. At some point, however, she started to become increasingly neurotic in regards to how much we were communicating via phone when we weren't together. For instance, if I accidentally left my phone in my car when starting my shift at work, I would come back for it during lunch time and find multiple texts and missed calls (all of them increasingly worried about where I was). Of course, she would always justify it under the pretext that she was worried that something happened to me. Another time she was complaining about my lack of communication (at that point I may have been starting to distance myself), and compared the number of texts I sent her that week versus the previous week. She had actually counted all of them up and recorded the number. It wasn't long after that that the relationship ended.
