Giving it time is the advice I keep seeing, and it is, logically, the correct choice (Thank you, Mr. Spock).

But then I think, "I'm not getting any younger..."

And...how do I feel about spending the rest of my marriage life with a woman who has dragged me through the mud the way she has?

I don't know how you've gone as long as you have with the crap you've endured, AC, but I admire your stones.
