Again Z, very well said. Great stuff.

Just wish I could accept that time is my friend. It's not from a lack of patience, but rather I feel (fear?) that every day that goes by makes her feel more trapped because I won't leave, and I believe she's desperate to "move forward". If there simply was no option of D (there isn't unless she makes up something about cruelty and she already said she won't but who really knows), I could accept time and take it as it comes. As it is, I feel like there's a ticking clock and she'll reach a point where she'll do anything...
