Phoenix, I feel a lot of what you wrote. It very well could LOOK like it is easier to cut bait than to deal with issues. So how do you change that look? In everyday life around your house, how much do you always do? do you shovel snow, mow lawn, gas up the cars, get the oil changed, take care of fixing the windows in the house, get the furnace checked, take care of kids while she's at work, and then be the gentleman and open the car door for W? Just a thought - how can you show her that life without YOU will not be easier than dealing with issues.
Persistent to a fault. IMO that's not a bad fault. Just don't let persistance be pesty.
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
