Bowing Out 
 
	Bowing out of this forum, I'm not getting what I wanted/needed from it and I think sometimes it just confuses me more and keeps me in the opinions of people here rather than the reality of what is actually going on, as it's hard to convey every detail of the relationship here. 
Thank you to those who have offered helpful advice and encouragement, that is genuinely appreciated and I wish you all the best in your journeys. 
On the other hand, there's a thread at the moment about why engagement here is so low, and honestly, I feel like I'm too soft and vulnerable for this website right now. People will pick up on little things you say and analyse it separately from everything else that's been said and quite bluntly tell you you're basically delusional if you think your relationship is going to survive or that your partner isn't doing enough because they're not following the guidelines set here and so on. People are obviously hung up on their own experiences which is understandable but not helpful to project onto other users and I find some comments quite hypocritical and judgemental. 
Again, massive thank you to those who took care in their replies, Groot and NowWhat in particular.

For Those Who Tried R First
 
	How long did you try for? And what was it that made you decide to separate in the end? 
I keep saying I want to R but I feel like my brain is rejecting that idea and I keep slipping into depressive phases where I think that’s not possible and I’ll never get over it.
