Maritimer,

I can relate--my H is homeless, broke, and his health is deteriorating yet these spouses cling to the fantasy that their lives will become perfect without you! Their pride demands that they keep up the facade.

Telling her what you think will backfire. I know it didn't help me. Like you, I am baffled but my H's choices.

Space is key. I've learned that I need space but don't recognize it. It's hard for me to be patient. I want all my bad feelings gone NOW.
