Quoting hoping: You are doing great...you have stood by your w through all this when many would turn and run.

Yup!
All ya gotta do is outlast her, KAW. Or more accurately, you gotta outlast her depression. Sometimes I think that DB, in and of itself, doesn’t do the most to save our marriages. The courage it gives you to stick with it does.
Of course, tenacity doesn’t make things work. But when you DB in order to find what works, and when you stick with it for long enough, your chances are much better than if you muddle along doing what doesn’t work and then throw in the towel too early.
But KAW. Don’t go throwing a halo over my head. This isn’t easy for me, and has become even harder. Sometimes I wonder if I would have stuck it out this long if I truly thought I had a choice. Because short of skipping the country to leave my W and four kids high and dry, I don’t have any way to escape my M. Even if I wanted to.
