That all sounds like steps in the right direction but...
Quote: PLEASE HELP ME STAY THE COURSE!
The important word here is HELP. You have to want to be on the course and committ to it long term. Your biggest problem in all this is...drum roll...YOU!
It's that way for most of us and your no exception. You just have to learn that things WILL get worse before they get better. She WILL seem like she's giving up or moving on or seeing someone or not in a good mood or whatever. You CANNOT allow whatever the situation is at the moment derail you from the big picture.
I think you are one of those who had to get to a certain point before it started to make sense. There's NO shame in that. Now make it all worth while and embrace what you now know you want and make it happen!
