Thanks, SBJ.
You're right, it would push him away. I think I am still really having trouble with not being able to have any expectations from him at all. I feel like, why am I going through all of this for someone who won't even give me the courtesy of an attempt at saving what has been an incredible marriage, despite the last few years?

I get it, it's not fair and that's just how it is, but I am finding that piece so hard to swallow... It's much more painful to me than the idea of him having an affair or the things he's told me (like his fantasy that I would have an accident and then be out of his life). I can handle a lot. I am a strong person. But I don't know where to get the strength to deal with someone saying: you're not good enough and even though I "love" you, I'm not going to give you a chance to improve because I'm just done!
