In regards to the year, it is all up to you. If your spouse knows about the year, then you need to stick to your guns and proceed accordingly. If not, you need to decide if you have had enough. Only you will know.
In my sitch, I decided that I can't live with a person that is not in love with me. I can't live in a marriage that is only being held together for the kids sake. What kind of life is that??? We all want to be with someone that loves us no matter what and we can't wait to get home to and cuddle with. Maybe I am just being picky but I want to know that I am loved.
Sorry to hijack! Do what you believe is right for your sitch. No one can tell you what feels right.
Keep your head up and I will keep checking in on you!
