actually I think she is really confused. Don't discount the fact that I am back in my house after 6 months away. We get along mostly well. You seem to discount that I have made progress from a dead marriage to a sick marriage. I tried to get her to cut ties with him but for now she will not. What I am looking for is a way to convince her to from the position I am in now. If I go throwing around ultimatums, that only causes her to put up resistance and I am back to square one.
