With that, I cannot compete, no matter how much I improve myself.
DifRent,
You're welcome, any way I can help! I am not one of the vets on this forum but I have to respectfully disagree with your statement above. If you truly do all you can to improve yourself and try to emotionally detach, your W will see a different DifRent (sorry for the pun, hope it brought a to your face).
When our partner sees positive, lasting changes in us, there is hope that the M can be saved.
Think positive thoughts and you may discover things can turn around.
Take care.
Bob
