First Post--2d troubled marriage

[2X Divorcee?]

Along the lines of adjusting my expectations, I am going to conclude that this is some sort of MLC. Despite some of my downfalls and the seperation which is a source of frustration, I surmise the WAS scenario would usually take place after more time together. While I know this thought is focused on my stbxw, it helps me to frame what I'm up against and to know that the odds are against us. I agree. Expectations need to be adjusted.
