While I thank everyone for their posts, I think WalkingMan you are extremely negative.
If what you are saying is right, if your wife leaves there is little chance of her coming back, we all might as well give up?
I don't want to give up, I want to fight for my marriage, will I be successful?, I don't know, but I'm not giving up on my wife or my family!
Yes I will look after me and if I have to move on with my life, but I cannot help the fact that I love this woman, I made mistakes, and I have to put them right, or at least try.
What sort of example am I setting my kids, if just because something looks hard and impossible, just give it up and walkaway, sorry thats not me.
I cannot control the future, but I have to be able to look in the mirror and say, I gave everything to try and save it, and if it then fails fine, I did all I could.
I understand all situations are different, but to make such a sweeping statement is very negative to all readers.
