Good Morning Sunshine3,
I can really relate to what you are feeling. I had those same fears. What I realized was that I was compressing all of my future into tomorrow, rather than dealing One Day At A Time. I also realized that I was assuming that I knew what my future held. And that he was it. My last chance. If I wasn't with him, I would probably die alone with cats eating my eyeballs. Now it sounds bat-%^&* crazy to write it out like that, but that was how I was feeling. Yes, he was high-functioning. No, he was not abusive. But it was only going to get worse.
