Hey, longrun. Thank you for your support during the past couple of days.
I said the A will end bc that's the way it goes. So choose to think this way.
To me, "Acting as if" means acting as if you'll be successful in saving your marriage. It also means you act as if you're happy and self-assured, and you are making the best out of this situation. So be positive around her. Show your changes--and make sure these changes are sustainable in the long run.
Don't wait till you start piecing to show her what she means to you. You can be kind and helpful now.
Also, you mentioned she didn't like the fact that you didn't finish your education. Have you thought about the possibility of doing this?---FOR YOU? If you're happy with the income you have/could have on your own without the education, then great. But if not, maybe this is the time to plan for future studies.
By focusing on being a better person, you'll actually be helping your M.
