Do you all ever look at these threads (as an outsider) and just ask......"why do you want to continue down this path?"
There have been plenty of situations where I have thought that. Most involved infidelity. Like why would someone want to stay with someone that cheated on them? But at the same time I get it. I had a good friend whose longtime BF was a jerk, but she had 7 years into him and didn't want to feel like those were wasted years.
So yes, if you were willing to walk away from this situation no one would blame you, and might even encourage it. But we also understand why you want to try to save it. All be it, it shouldn't be a "save it at any cost" thing either. It would be nuts for you to want to save your marriage and keep the dynamic you have been living with for the last few years.
