...You may be surprised how long you can work on this if you can get to a place where you see progress. I felt I was near the end of my rope, too, two years ago--but I've made progress and now although I don't have everything perfectly figured out, I don't feel as lost.
Wow. I love my wife, but I had hoped that I would be able to either see progress in 6 months to 8 month or learn that things might be hopeless. Thank you for sharing your experience and helping me to better understand that progress might take years.
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
