Thanks for the response, TxHubby.

Yes, that is basically the conflict for me.... try or move on.

I don't believe in her current state she is at risk of suicide at this moment. I do think she has future risk depending on her life choices (ie, addressing the issues or not).

Without addressing her issues, the pattern will repeat for her.

I would stand by her in support of her and her conditions with a plan to treat and monitor.

I would not stand by her if this is non-illness EA and she just decided she wants out of the M. I am not 2nd choice or fallback.

That's my internal conflict.

When I read my own story and almost everyone's advice is to move on. That regardless of reason, she wants out of the M, she is not here, she doesn't want help, she's not going to get treatment, she needs to fix this for herself,etc
