Pretty sure this is a MLC or Identity Crisis

Shell,

I have basically given up on getting my W back. I have a little hope, but zero expecations.

There is a huge differnce between giving up on getting your wife back...and actively pursuing a divorce. While I agree with Eric about sounding defeated, giving up on getting your wife back (which sounds entirely possesive ) and dettaching from the emotions this whole crappy situation evokes aren't not too far apart.

I have a little hope,

GOOD! Keep that thing small and locked up in a box inside your heart, take it out and blow on the ember at times to keep going, cause it's the last thing you'll want to ever lose, BUT you don't want it driving your car. You control your hope, just like your anger and other emotions.

but zero expecations.

I am doing everything possible given the sitch to detatch and GAL.

That'd be nice...keep working on that.

This week I hope to get MY goals down on paper and start working on them.

And THAT is one of the best plans you can have. Accept nothing less than your best in reaching these goals. And I am going to suggest that one of them is: Stay married.
