BM, focus on those things in your life that bring happiness to you and can put a smile on your face. Let your H alone to figure himself out. Support him if and when you can, but he has to be left alone.

Maybe you don't have to leave to have a happy life. Have you looked at what your life would be without your H? Would it be better? Would it be worse?

I was where you are. The majority of my life felt good, it was just the part with H that made me miserable. I finally understood that I couldn't change him or make him change, he had to figure himself out. He did, after 7 years. Now my life has him back in it, along with all those things that kept me going while he was out of my life.

That doesn't mean life is 100% wonderful, I don't believe any single thing is 100% the way we want it to be, but there is always ways to improve. Growing forward together.

Chin up, eyes on the horizon.
