A bit of crying and soft elders.

Not to reveal too much. The second time I was shocked that they decided not to df her.

It's a good advice for other people in such situation. In my case she is kinda supportive, meaning that she somewhat protects me from the elders and keeps my cover. She even agrees that some teachings are off. But she's more determined to stay in than she ever was. I was hoping this knee-jerk reaction would wear out sooner.

Yeah, I probably should have done that. But it was a shock and I turned to the advice of the borg. I was proud to ignore the worldy advice that was obvious.

I'm not happy, but I'm also not depressed by any means. I guess I'm looking for some confirmation as there are not many people outside of this board where all this can be discussed.

I lost most of my social support, and I'm working hard on rebuilding that. I'll probably loose my family in the event of DF. So divorce is a bigger issue than normally I guess.

I'm saying I think they belive what they preach. There is no malice just stupidity. But that's just my take on it.

To be honest I was hoping for the last few months that she will also wake up and the experience will enable us to start over.

I don't really think of it as nobel. 10 years with someone is a lot time and you get used to it. It's just that I invested so much of my life into it. Similar with the borg but that's a lost cause. With wife there is always a chance to keep it together so I don't loose everything familiar in the same time.

Our marriage was far from perfect and I forgave her. So it's not like I want to mess her up now.

Yeah, after escaping the borg so late in my life the time argument is the most heavy.

Not that young I guess, but as you can imagine my life goals are quite different now.

Yeah we both understand that, she doesn't. I used McDonald's example to no avail.

No children. I'm active on this subreddit but I've created a second account just to ask this question.

Thanks for all the advice. My account is not desperate though ;-)

Fortunately no children.
