You hang in there. It is amazingly hard for all of us who are in this. Right now my W is the one who walks around with a chip on her shoulder and I've told her if she was that unhappy, to leave.
She hasn't made a single move towards a divorce or moving out. It's like she's "suffering" for the sake of what I don't know. We all support you. Don't ever think you're alone. It's the hardest when it comes to the kids. My oldest D asked my W out loud why she's not wearing her wedding ring. My W just walked away. She told me that she doesn't wear it because she doesn't consider us M. Oh please!
And just the other night, my D woke up crying. When I asked her what happened, she said she had a nightmare that my W and I broke up and that we were divorced. The kids are the innocent victims in all this while the WAS hurricane goes blasting through.
It's tough because WE are the ones who are being the responsible persons. WE are the glue that's holding everything together. WE are the strong ones who are having our emotions go from hell and back. Our S always consider themselves the victims. They have no idea.
Take pride in your standing. You are the rock, the foundation of your M. It's not an easy role, but it is a role we've chosen and we will be stronger from it.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
