Like most of us here, I feel like I've dropped the rope, but I'm sure there is an invisible thread I'm still hanging onto, and that may become evident at any time.
From what I see, you have not dropped the rope. You are loosening your grip, but I feel you have a long way to get to dropping the rope.

I sometimes feel that you are swinging between extremes. Stay in current limbo situation or file for D. There is always a middle ground. The problem I see is that you are not standing up and asking for what you need, even when the ask is something that is reasonable. I have said this before, but I feel you are letting your wife set the rules and you are accepting them, defending yourself for not following the rules at times. Ask for what you deserve first and ask firmly before thinking about D.
