Success Or Failure

I feel that I am inept at doing anything to improve things. Things had stayed the same way for years, and it hurt terribly when my attempts to address issues were incapacitated with non-reaction or stoic reaction. At one point, I stooped so low and hoped it would help, but I was wrong. I was greeted with indifference. I've chosen to leave things as it is so as not to rock the boat and upset others. I was also tired of trying. By not placing any hope, I thought I could desensitise myself to hurt. Does staying married in the legal sense equate "Success"? I doubt so. At times I would feel indignant, but I hope the feeling would fade. Remaining status quo does no harm to others at least.
