Don't you think it remains to be seen if there could be a NEW relationship built upon some sort of mutual respect? I mean, have you ever consistently learned about setting -- and enforcing -- boundaries, and sticking up for your own needs?
She might surprise you.
Or, she might not, in which case at least you'll know. I suspect you're not willing to live with your 2nd bullet-point anyway, so why not try it?
It will take some TIME and PATIENCE, tho -- there are a loootttt of old, bad habits to break here, on BOTH of your parts.
Remember: women tie their feelings of "love" VERY closely with their feelings of "respect." She has helped create a husband who "agrees to everything she wants," but now she realizes that she's really not attracted to that. And you, you've allowed it.
You're both to blame, the way I see it. But since you're here, YOU are the one who gets to go first in trying to fix it.
