She's also frustrated to a degree that I'm not helping her get the divorce. If it was anything else in our life, I would have, by now, researched the options, drawn up a plan, present her with options, help her choose, and execute that plan for her. I am not going to do that with the divorce. I can't.
My W resents me for this too...crazy!
Re how long can you survive in a loveless marriage? I think only you can answer that question. If you are attached and continuing to ride on their roller coaster, then I think the answer is not very long because the physical and emotional toll is too great. If you are detached and off their roller coaster and doing your own thing, then I think there are a lot of examples on these boards of being able to stand for years...
