Hi trying,
Thanks for the response. My husband wouldn't let me go to a counsellor or come himself. So I don't know about that. But your sentence captures exactly what I feel. I always feel I am exactly on the 50 th percentile. Too Bad to Stay and Too Good to Leave.

In addition to seeing a therapist, I also work for one and I know he frequently recommends a book titled something like... "Too Bad to Stay Too Good to Leave" and it deals with relationship ambivalence.
