If it wasn't for DR and these forums I think I would have given up on W by now. The sitch just seems completely hopeless when not referenced against the patterns described on these forums. These forums help to show that there is a process to go through and there is hope for reconciliation even in the face of seemingly impossible odds. I have to admit I really don't harbor much hope anyway (W hasn't given me any reason to have any), but if not for this place I would have no hope at all and would have moved on by now. Even if we don't reconcile at least I will be comforted knowing that I did the honorable thing in front of my kids, my relatives and the world in trying to save the M.
That takes courage and strength and I applaude you. Some outsiders see it as weakness, but most know it is far from the easy way out and it takes strength.
My sitch is fresh and I actually made a post 10 minutes ago about feelings of wanting to give up already.
