I stopped trying to understand it fix her because nothing works and nothing changes and I get more resentful if I do all the things to date her again and zero difference.
Only thing I noticed is after I stopped trying a couple years ago, we really have grown apart. We don't go on vacations together (what's the point?). We don't go out for dinner just the two of us.
5 years till the last one leaves for college, if we are still together, that will be it. Oddly, she talks about plans for our future, but I just nod along and wonder what planet she lives on.
Isn't it better for her to hang on to her delusions? She's pretended all these years that sex doesn't matter. Let her be one of the martyrs who cries, out of the blue he just divorced me! Never saw it coming.
When will you stop nodding along? Will you try to prepare her for your plans?
