I am not in a position to offer advice but I hear your pain and frustration.

Listen to Az, he is trying to help.

I like you have a M that is missing some important stuff, but is still intact. Intact meaning no bomb drop and no separation.

I too am not willing to have an unfulfilling M, and have been close to pushing the issue. That day will come. Before that I want to really get a life and be really happy. I will use this time to also try improve R with W,


R 25 years
M 14 years
S11 & S13
Working on it alone since Oct 2014
M in trouble a lot earlier (~2 years)
