[quote=sparks14 I expect this to be a long road ahead. Patience is a virtue that I typically hold. I just hope it is one my wife is ready for as well. [/quote]

Sparks,

Right now, please, listen to Mach.

As I said to you before, you and your W are in different places right now.

She is trying to figure herself out right now. She needs to do that before she can really work on figuring out the M or even if she wants to figure out the M.

Go, listen, validate, have patience, and don't worry about whether your W has patience or not.

Given the room, she will come to her choices in her time.

And hopefully, your patience will allow you to be there for her in the end if she decides that is what she wants as well.
