I joined this site when I first found out my wife wanted a separation. I've read most of DB and have been following the steps. I've lost 35 lbs, been seeing a therapist to deal with issues that have been with me for a while. I'm really happy with the progress I have made working with her and the person I am becoming. I've been doing things for myself and even got a new car.

When I discovered her weekend getaway with OM I filed for a D. I felt she betrayed not only myself but the children as well. Lately though I look at my kids and don't want them to grow up in a broken home like I did. I've only now with the help of therapy gotten over some of those issues that have been with me since I was a child. I'd still be willing to work on my marriage first because of them and second because I believe we can recapture what we had. Am I foolish to think that it can work and how do I bring the subject up to the W?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
