I am so sorry to hear that things have turned downward.
I am not a good one to give advice about this stuff, as I have no idea what it takes to save a marriage.
But I will give advice when I think I have some to give.

I think the chances of saving a marriage erode significantly once the parties separate. I think that I should have tried harder to get my STBXW to stick it out at home instead of so easily letting her go. I too, thought maybe it would help us. All it did was show her how much happier she was once she was gone.
I think a separation decision (on you rpart anyway) should only be made as a last resort.
Jackie, I know how you are feeling. I was there. Hang in there, and know that I'm thinking of you.
