Don't take the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're already better off than you were before you started DBing -- no drinking, playing basketball again (it's better to PLAY basketball than look like you swallowed one, right?).
You and I have the same problem, we want to convince our wives that they need to SEE us. Look at me, look at me. Gotta stop, nose to the grindstone, focus on ourselves and allow our wives to make their own decisions, even if it's the "wrong" one. We need to be the best man we can be. After that, it's out of our control. Make that decision for them to leave us hard because that will mean we were better than we were (and, pragmatically, will set us up for future relationship success).
Hang in there,
BD
