I apprectae the input. After re-reading it, it is a bit harsh and overwhelming. After reading the NMMNG book though, Im trying to find a way to get my needs and expectations across. If I was given this list I would be pretty defensive too. So how do you get the point across that your needs are vaild and important?

Certainly you should think about drawing some very simple lines in the sand which if crossed will result in you leaving. For example - quit drinking and go to counselling. If you see no movement on her part then follow-through and leave.
Sounds to me like you have your answer on how to shorten that list there, Newlywed.
That's some great advice, there. I suggest you follow it, bravely. YOU CAN DO IT.
