Steve, it seems like based on the EAs of both you and W, neither of you is happy in the relationship. Given the history of EAs dating back to more than 15 years ago this does not seem to be some sort of short term crisis either. I am curious if you have given any thought to perhaps both of you may be better off with someone that actually makes you happy? Do your MC/IC have any thoughts on this? What are the reasons you are choosing to stay in a situation that has had you both unhappy for such a long time? Sorry for the blunt question.
I think this is a fair question to ask. However, the answer is similar to almost anyone that omes here looking for help. And that's when it's going well it is really good. There have been a lot of issues between us and individually that have caused our issues. Rather than throwing in the towel and giving up we've chosen to stick it out and work on those issues. It is incorrect to categorize us as solidly unhappy for 20 years. Has there been unhappiness? Yes, but not too the point where or ultimate decision was to D. Not that it hasn't been a consideration at times for one or both of us.
