I turn 40 next month, perhaps that is why I'm having a hard time with the "patience" thing. I feel the sands of time slipping through the hourglass.
Just some perspective. I was 40ish when I went through this. I am in my late 50s now.

You fix it by not trying to fix it. It is counter intuitive. You focus on fixing yourself. All relationships are 50/50. You have just as many issues as she does. She is a mirror to help you address your issues. You can still take a leadership role (in all areas as needed).
