What do I do next? Part 2

[MrBond]

"What else can I do?"

"I know I can't change her, but I still want to. "

Start by stopping this kind of thinking. You wouldn't want someone to change you would you?

"I didn't choose to have my W leave for OM. I didn't choose to see my kids less. I didn't choose depression and sadness."

Your W didn't choose those things either when you first married. Things happened in life and got to the point where she life seemed easier on the other side of the fence.

Do the things that can make you happy and your life fulfilling again.

"I didn't do enough to ensure W happiness."

Be more specific. Give examples. Come up with a concrete "to do" list that you will follow. Come up with a motto that you can aspire and stick to. That will give you the focus you need to do what you need to do.
