Kiddo, I think the bolded part is really what's driving you. I don't think you can give up your idea of your future together. I know you had high hopes, but those hopes are probably rooted in the man you fell in love with online - not the man you've come to know IRL. I also suspect you met this man when you were good and ready to settle down - and that readiness makes a huge difference in terms of how receptive you are to love/loving feelings, and how willing you are to compromise. I think your dreams of a future with this man are powerful, and I think that's why you're still with him.
I know. I was thinking that already today, and that's why I logged on. You're right.
