? I couldnt even read any more of your post beyond this!

These forums are not designed to encourage tolerance.. they are supposed to be support for change.
And even if everyone here told you to stick it out and you knew you couldnt then that is entirely up to you. You do have free will.
Growth from within is the only thing I see seperating you from reality.It seems you are LOST.
and staying married for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that IMO is far worse than trying to " tolerate " your mate.
God bless you.....
