reb, I think most of us have had these questions. It's great that you can state the two options so clearly. Do you have to choose right now? Maybe you could explore keeping both of those options open for awhile. Also, do you really have to be long-suffering while standing for your marriage? Maybe if you re-framed it as more of an opportunity for growth, it might make the choices easier and render them non necessarily mutually-exclusive. Just my thoughts. . .
