I have no doubt that I would be set back from that much interaction.
But you must continue to act as if. Do NOT let your w see this side of you. You need to stay strong.
If you must continue to "fake it" do so.. but I really hope that it starts to become real for you.
You deserve to be happy for "real"
I am glad all of the good things you have learned about yourself. My only 2x4 is in these sentences

This is dangerous thinking and doesn't really serve any good purpose othan than to boost the ego.
Becareful that it doesn't cause resentment or anger. You may not have to agree with your w's choices, but these sentences don't validate HER feelings which regardless of right or wrong... she's allowed to have.
Hang in there. Take each day as it comes.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
