I understand why you want to quit. It's been a LONG HARD ROAD...but as for hoping she "wakes up" and "Gets it"...you will wait a long time.
Even if she did, she'd never tell you. And she won't in all likelihood. I've seen ONE person wake up and get it, and tell the LBSer and it was a month before the LBSer's wedding to her OM...(her h had left her and filed for div 3 years earlier, saw her getting m and THEN said "oops" but he didn't necessarily want back in, just wanted her to know he'd screwed up. She said she'd never go back to her ex h b/c 'now she knows what it's like to be the priority in a man's life"...and she's happier now than she ever could have been WITH her first h.
But your happiness is NOT dependent on her misery. If you are waiting for her to "get it" you are essentially connecting two unrelated things.
Your happiness is within your control and once you really take ownership of that, whatever the heck she's doing won't matter. Who cares if she never gets it? If you find another w who gets you, then you are happier!
If you truly become the best man you can become, and GAL, then you are happier! She can be in the Austrailian outback or Mars. She is irrelevant to your happiness. She may never wake up or believe you were a great catch or your changes would never have happened if she had not left, etc. You are in charge of your life. Not her.[b] Don't spend your energy wanting to be vindicated or proven "right". What matters is the happiness you create for YOU & yours.[/b]
