What kind of man are you if you abandon all value in your vows to youself and your wife?
How different will you be if you cut and run because you are tired of "the battle"? Isn't that what she did?
Your questions about "when do I bail" are coming from frustration; anger; betrayal and impatience. Where is your love? Where is your empathy?
These are HARD questions. If you "quit" on your marriage and her, doesn't that confirm to her that you didn't love her and she DID make the right choice to leave?
Nottrying to be a jerk to you but I can see the same attitudes that I see every so oftenin my own posts.
I think these words were burnt-in to my memory last night. You're so right. Good grief my feelings last night came out of nowhere. I was happy and just doing my thing and then they hit me like a truck.
You are not a jerk in any way. You're real and keeping it that way. I really appreciate the feedback and just so you know I'm not ignoring any advice given. In fact, as last night showed, I'm sure I'm going to need it again.
