Hi wmd296

Welcome

Honestly? I think the best thing to do is to talk to her about it, tell her how you feel - just be honest.

I wouldn't have expectations that it will change anything much - there are solutions but she has to want to find them and be prepared to do the work - but it seems like it's important for you to get this off your chest.

Then you can decide what to do for yourself after that.

I agree, you should tell her how you're feeling so that you are at peace with yourself, but don't have expectations that she will change because there is nothing you can do to make that happen. Sorry you are in that position.
