markyb, the short answer unfortunately is Yes, it is possible for the WAS never to return, because they were hurt to much.

You basically just described 13 years of marriage, above in your post. The last two years I have really been able to turn things around financially, which in return helped me not to be such a rude ass to my wife. But, I just like you am very worried that I have hurt my wife to much also and she will never want to come back. And sadly I can not blame her.

After today I feel like things may be worse then I thought with her. As far as her being done and wanting to move on with her own life. All I can do is keep applying all that I have learned and continue to work on myself and work on moving on myself. Hopefully with time and my diligence, her heart will change. As I hope is the case with your W also.
