Mindset or reality? It's my current reality, of course, and has been since September 2003. There is still a glimmer of hope for the future, but, since she just needs the littlest of excuses to be "not in the mood" and since I am usually the source of those excuses because of some little thing I did, I guess it's more of a mindset.
Mindset: I look at her and think "roommate. business partner. fellow parent." I still love her, I just don't let her take advantage of me as much as she used to.
