OK... Stop. You are allowing people to manipulate you.

Please, if you learn one thing from me, let it be this:
If you cannot control it, do not concern yourself with it.

You cannot control what other people say. So do not concern yourself with it. You cannot control what your wife does. So do not think about it.

You are swimming in self-pity, and understandably so. You have been through emotional hell. But realize that if you are truly on a mission to save your marriage, you must save yourself first. Stop with the self pity. Be tough. Be up to the challenge.

Theo, there is no need to watch out. I remain your pupil.
