You can do whatever you set your mind to, this I know from all I've read from you. I am confident in this.
As far as the timeline...none can say how long this will truly take, I know I didn't start seeing a change in her mindset towards me and our marriage fo4 three years of intimacy starvation. You could be a long ways still. This is why we need to learn how to love ourselves and start meeting our own deepest needs for appreciation , etc. Sprinkle in a little spoiling ourselves with that too, ok.
Maybe this could have gone faster if I would have found this site earlier, IDK. What it WoOULd have done, I would have started down the path for me to heal sooner...that is a certainty. She still needed to find her way.
One day and one step!
