I know you're going on "sabbatical" right now, but I just had the urge to drop you a note for when you get back.
We're close to the same age (me: 24/6/58) and seem to be roughly in the same place WRT OR's

The shifts that signaled W's loss of self and the ensuing struggle to break free from the role she became entrenched in. It was my reaction to these shifts that brought me to this BB.
Like you, I was brought to this BB because of the all too typical WAW sitch followed by my depression. My depression made me realize what I had done. W had stopped complaining (her problem was obviously "fixed"). Now, I have no right to complain. CATCH-22.

My expectation was that W and I would eventually work our way back into a closeness that we previously embraced. I was just beginning to wonder if I expect too much? If I do, can I live with the compromise? Tough questions!
Yes, tough questions! I guess we just have to accept the way things are without giving up hope that the oh so slow process will continue.
