I don't see a major slide in your post. I see some sad, hard reflecting that is totally normal unless you are a robot. I feel the same way about my H. He passes along the 'need' to be close friends with me...ummm...I have never had a friend that has treated/IS treating me this way.

Yes, you will. It'll be easier finding that person and staying happy because you worked on you. Your W is still running.

Take care.
