You are not merely playing with fire, you are lighting it next to a gas can with a WARNING sign on it, and yet you are hoping you don't get burned. You will get hurt. Period. The question is when. I think you know this.
This is NOT about going to a strip club, but if it were, I'd probably go along with YAH's analysis. It's about the things she says to you, what she hides, the history of the relationship & how it has devolved, and how often you hurt each other. You seem to get the brunt of the pain in the interactions.
You returned from combat to a lukewarm reception and a bombshell from her. Since then, you have been "wounded" in your own home by your "partner in life". God only knows what she really did while you were over there, and I'm sorry to say that, but surely you wonder.
I feel as if you'd rather take what you can get from her, than to dig, or fix the relationship b/c it would mean she'd leave sooner. That makes me sad for you.
When I read your post and how you describe her unwillingness to go to c, it seems you accept this. Your fear of losing her now is greater than anything else. Okay. I get it.
But I'm a veteran talking to another one, and I have 5 brothers. So
I'm telling you what I'd tell them, which is, you deserve better. Be brave enough to get it...
I really wish you well.
