That was my philosophy and yes it worked for me. My marriage was saved because I took positive action on my part and my wife took positive action for herself. You can be a great DBer or a lousy one but your marriage will eventually take two committed partners to heal. You don't control your wife. You control your actions, feelings and thoughts. The Stockdale Paradox helped me cope. Make your mind up to thrive and not let this take you down regardless of the outcome. You can handle it.
Cheers
Coach
