Ah thanks for telling me all that. Try not to worry about backsliding too much, you are doing so good with your GAL!!!
I think the big turning point for me was the text message my W sent about possibly not going on the holiday (vacation) with me & the kids in June. It was like a real slap in the face, you know when someone tells you to snap out of it. I realised and accepted the fact that my W is / was ? so unhappy being with me, that she didn't want to go on the holiday of a lifetime for our children. I was a mess on that day, but when I woke up the next morning - I really woke up to my situation & started to address some of the things in my life that I am not happy with.
As much as I love my W and want to save my M, I can only do so much & this still might not be enough to convince my W to give it another go in the future. But you know what, this is OK, because I know I'll find happiness either way. These changes are not for my W, these are for ME and this is my choice and nobody else's.
