Thanks, Dr Love and Stuck808.

It helps hearing that what I'm going through isn't uncommon. Maybe this is even how Rs work with WAWs.

The whole concept of piecing together a marriage means you don't get everything back at once, right? You get the marriage back piece by piece, and each piece requires its own restoration work.

Yes, I need to consider myself lucky. I have things so much better than most others in this situation. I have to keep that in mind.
