You already have survived! Now make the decision to be happy and thrive.
Choose to and you will. It will likely not be a dramatic shift. It will likely be a slow change, realized after it occurs.
Dig deep and find your motivation. What is it that will drive your decision? Change how you define happiness.
Your marriage was not yours alone to save. You do not have sole responsibility for its demise or its salvation. A marriage is the joining of two people, two. Both must decide to make it work.
