I think I need to figure out a way to be happy even though I hate my M sitch. After all, I love my kids and don't want to be away from them. There's not much I can do to change my W and her self-esteem issues, and those will be a roadblock forever, until she decides to do something about them.

Yesterday, W's mom said something to her that went in one ear and out the other. W said something like: "this little kid came up to me at daycare and said, 'you're fat' and her teacher came over and apologized. I said to the teacher, 'no, that's OK, it's true'" Her mom replied: "well, if you don't like what you see in the mirror or how you are then you can always do something about it." W said nothing.

How does a H "hang on" for months/years, all the while his W does nothing about a situation that she dislikes, hoping that she'll wake up one day and feel like "getting in shape" again? It's not making my life any easier by holding my tongue.
