This resonated with me. Especially as I face one year of sobriety with my RAH and nothing has changed except that he isn't drinking. Behavior remains inconsistent, resentments are still firmly in place, and I am another year older.

Florence, I can relate to the feeling of frustration...and I am at the point of wondering just how fair this is to HIM, much less ME, to continue to be so vastly different with our needs and expectations for a marriage.

Just something I am pondering. It takes time to grow up. How much time do you have to give to that process? I don't think I have any more time left.
