I dunno about anybody else's H/W, but when my W puts her foot down, no bulldozer on earth could pick it up again.
Yes, I'm with you on this.
In fact I am pretty sure my W's foot is getting heavier and heavier. She has said around 4 times tonight 'we're splitting up' (this is a new expression from her usual choice) - I felt like saying 'no, we are not splitting up - you are walking away! - luckily i did not!
So like you I feel its time to start thinking about giving up on trying to win her around, or do anything to save R, and now just look after myself. I kind of think this is what all the vets have been saying to do all along, but I think its something you need to get to yourself before your really understand.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
