I haven't been here very long, but, as you said, a lot of common themes. I can't offer as much help as some veterans but as a newcomer, I have learned that patience is the most important and the hardest thing to grasp. I agree that with children in the picture it is much more difficult. Not too long ago, I felt as if I was quickly running out of time. My four kids were always on my mind. But, "do what works!" My wife is still in the house, but she's not always "here", you know? Try to relax even when you think you will die. As you have read, thing aren't over yet, and you will only push her further away by pursuing. I know it doesn't make sense, but it has helped my sitch alot. Good luck! Patience, patience, patience............
