that she may be expecting me to be okay with things the way we are, basically living as roommates.


You wrote earlier:

she is committed to working things out,

So, what steps have the two of you planned to accomplish this?

Has she said she is committed or not?

And if she has said she is committed, what is she committed to?

- Living together as roommates until your daughter is 18?

- Working together (with the assistance of professionals/books/study?) to have an actual marriage between inateractive, loving adults?

- Staying in the same house together, doing exactly what you are currently doing (or not doing in this case) and waiting for the marriage fairy to sprinkle fairy marriage dust and bringing into being the "happily ever after"?

Are you willing to live under the current conditions for the next how ever many years she deigns to live with you? Do *you* find that acceptable?

If you don't find that acceptable, have you told her so?

Or are you *hoping* that something is going to change without any plan?

Because hope is not a plan.
