I understand ITH, I really do.

Just as your H is wanting to put this 6 month timeline on everything maybe you should give yourself a timeline to hang in there and see how it goes. Everything is easier to bear when you have an end date in mind. Maybe you go back to Dublin and give it two months to see how things go, or you could wait until the 6 months, or the lease being up. I just think it might make you feel a little better if you knew that no matter what you can do 3 more months, 5 more months, etc.

As many have said to me, only you will know when it is time to give up and walk away. You have certainly learned a lot over the past few months and you can always use this information in a new relationship if that is where you end up one day. So take comfort in knowing that even though it hurts like hell it is making you a better person and a better wife, whether to your h or someone else down the line.
