And then you can feel free to tell us how YOU saw it differently and what you are willing to work on. Of course there is hope, you are quite new to this.
And DO READ THE BOOK(S) b/c they'll help you no matter what stage you are in.
Don't talk yourself out of working on this,
and don't talk yourself into letting anger or a wounded ego, make your choices for you. BTW, I gave my marriage a "10% chance of surviving" in 2006, and I meant it.
