GIMA - Have you read the book "Love Must Be Tough?" (sorry if you've referred to this, but it's hard to keep everyone straight)

I keep thinking about the "how long can we keep going on in limbo" question. One of the things that Dr. Dobson, the author of that book, mentions is there needs to be a crisis before changes will be made. It isn't exactly in the same reference as your or my sotch that he describes it since he's talking about infidelity, but I think the overall point may be fitting.

He suggests that at the right point you may have to create your crisis. Draw the line in the sand if you will.

If you haven't read it, it may be worth picking up. It's not nearly as helpful as the MWD books and only the first 100 pages seemed worthwhile to me, but there were some good things in there.
