I'm like you in that I feel like I have some kind of intuition about the final outcome of all this, but I just can't see how it will play out to get that outcome (is that faith? or hope? or both?). Then, there is that little voice in our heads saying "maybe you are just in denial." Of course that little voice is stronger when we hear the IDLYA talk from our spouses.
I think we have to trust our "intuition" and keep holding on to our patience! I have to think that if a time comes when we really have to throw in the towel, then our intuition will tell us that and that it will be a very strong, undeniable intuition.
