I have such a drive to win that I just don't want to concede defeat, I guess that's part of my drive here also.
Yes, DH is a runner, I like that. He absolutely is. Can not take the heat and runs out of the kitchen the second he feels it.
I guess some of it comes down to knowing on a deep level who your spouse is. In my case, I think I know him enough to know that if he doesn't have the support of his family and friends, he will likely not continue. That may be a deal breaker with him. Guess it's all I have to count on right now. I have visions of friends and family being in MIL's living room and all saying "break it off or else" with me. That I really feel would work. No, not saying it wouldn't be a hard row to hoe still, but it would end the PA pretty quickly IMHO.
