Wayfarer, gosh, I am just struck by how much you have done the work, by what an amazing person you are, and how much you have gained for yourself through all this. I know this must feel scary, too, but these are beautiful words:

That's why those are the vows. Frankly he just needs more realistic expectations over all.
You deserve nothing less, and I know you know that. You reminded me that I deserve nothing less, that I want nothing less, and I think that is going to help me continue to let go on this next part of my journey. Thank you and (((wayfarer))).
