I am a viable partner, and I am sick to death of everyone telling me to give up. That includes the first MC, who I fired.
I told her earlier today that I wanted us back in counseling but only with someone whose priority it was to save the marriage. She didn't like that idea. I asked her what the point was if that wasn't a priority.
She equates saving the marriage with being miserable. I know my failings; she thinks I will never change. See MWD's Walk away Wife video on youtube.
What are those things? Not assertive enough, communication especially about finances, and not having my own life. We had a talk about that today too. I am very weary of talking the relationship; as has been posted on the boards.
