For what it's worth, I DID save my marriage. And my wife THANKED me for fighting for her. Absolutely no "retribution" involved, and I hope you don't get that sense from my post or from reading my backstory.
Your choice. As I said, talk to your attorney and your DB coach. Your marriage needs a hero right now, and unfortunately in her current state, that is NOT going to be your wife.
That leaves you.
You can do this.

Starsky, I agree and thank you for the tips. I also appreciate everyone comments. This is helping a lot.
You're welcome, and I wish I could talk to you offline but the TOS here don't encourage it. There are DB groups on the main social media sites where many of us hash this stuff out. I really grow weary of defending what WORKED for me (and so many others), when "DO WHAT WORKS" is supposed to be the overarching DB philosophy.
I do think that men respond to other strong male voices, and some women will never understand that. It's a basic "Mars and "Venus" thing.
