Hi Stipple, just read your thread and noticed we have kids close in age and long-term marriages going south.
About the R convo above, let it go but learn from the experience. If he says no to something like that, just say OK and walk away. You aren't going to change his mind and arguing just reinforces in his mind why he wants to leave.
To show him you've changed you have to truly change, your new behaviors have to become a part of you and that takes time. Don't put yourself in a position that you can't handle without becoming emotional.
Keep reading and posting here, it will help.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
