Very frustrating. I sit there and think, "are you listening to any of this?"

Patience.


You don't want anyone else pressuring her to "do the right thing" either. Keep close family and friends out of the details. The best thing you can do when folks who know anything about your sitch approach you, is to let them know you are, and will be, ok.

Having families on both sides pulling for R or D only adds pressure to both of you to "do something" to end the pain they see you are in. Show no pain and they will relax their concerns, and more importantly, their meddling.

Having said that, you do need one or two persons you can confide all to, who will say nothing to anyone else. This has to be someone not close to your wife.
