I re-read your initial situation thread and am convinced I see many similarities between your W and mine, from the cake-eating to the lack of being grounded in reality to the distance and doing most things separate. It's not a reassuring outlook but I'm glad to have a dose of reality on how these things often play out, rather than meandering around cluelessly.
I would rather be divorced 1,000 times over than living how you are living right now. Being reminded constantly how you are not good enough is soul sucking. Just know your feelings right now are temporary.

I have friends who have been living this way for years.
