So, SC...if my wife sees the changes and says that they don't matter, how do I know that is not apathy. Just because she is watching the changes, does not mean she actually cares about them, correct?
You can't believe everything she says right now. Her perception is being influenced by her emotions.
She may be subconsciously testing you. Just keep the course. Ask yourself daily, what's my long term goal... does this action get me closer or further from that goal ?
Hang in there, I know it sucks royally. I know some days you think it's not worth it anymore. I know some days you just want the pain to go away. I know you just want to move forward.
Tell me why she's still in the same house as you ?
Hugs
