I know you are not looking for a reply - but when does that stop me
Firstly, I firmly believe you will know if it's time to throw in the towel. The thing is 'husband' who was, is now 'Dr Love' - we all morph and change all the time. Dr. Love may change into 'I don't give a fcuk' or he may change into someone else - you just don't know and you have to follow your journey.
The WAS you talked to - and we both know I know who that is - is very jaded at the moment and fighting demons of their own. No-one else is in your M- they cannot tell you what to do. From your history on here and following your journey, you have so much NOT been in a place where YOU could have easily thrown in the towel.
As for the R talk; if you have told your W you won't go there until she gets a job then you should stick to it. If you want to alter it give her notice of that fact. I imagine that she is relaxed as she knows you aren't going to put pressure on her at the moment. She will appreciate that, which in turn will hopefully help things move forward slowly.
Dr Love - you have come such a long way - don't throw it all away because you can't breach the last boundary.
BTW - I am having major mattress problems at the moment; so bad I am thinking about moving into another room until we get it fixed - going mattress shopping as Sara suggested sounds a good move to me. Also a new mattress might be like a new broom sweeping clean from a mental viewpoint for your W. New bedding that she likes might also make a difference. I know that might sound silly but don't underestimate the connections a person has in their brain for a room and bad events occurring there. Just choosing something together gives you joint ownership of it - it's a bond between you.
