I downloaded a copy of No More Mr. Nice Guy. I've read a few sections in depth, but I'm still kinda working through it.
It might sound too simple, but all I want is to be loved. That's it. So to rephrase what I said: "I hope she chooses me, because I want to be loved by her."
No. I don't want to spend the rest of my life living with a person who treats me like this. I can't. It hurts. But time is a huge factor here. If we had only been married a few years, I'd probably be cutting the cord right now because the future would look pretty bleak.
In my case, we've had over 20 years of good marriage. This is the only serious problem we've ever had. Consequently, I have some hope that if we can survive this, we can have many more years of good marriage. There's a reason I married her, and I'm not going to give up too easily.
