Maria, (((())))

I agree, after all the back bone is what keeps us standing upright.
I guess everyone is just trying to find a new way of problem solving, they /we all want your happiness.

I think one of the dangers of "sucking it all up" in the hope they will eventually,maybe, whenever they are ready come back to the marriage fully committed to it, is eventually our resentment rears it head at how we allowed ourselves to be treated.
I know Ali, pride goeth before a fall! but if we don't respect ourselves no one will.There is a difference.

Maria, only you know how much stuckness you will tolerate.
We all support you whatever.
