Ditto the sentiments of Scorp & Barrybran. When we're all done with this chapter in our lives (which I'm sure we all can agree are some of the toughest times any of us will face), we need to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror and say that we did everything in our power to make this work.
We obviously want our marriages to work or we wouldn't have come here in the first place.
If my wife and I get divorced and 10-15 years down the road my son and/or daughter asks why we got divorced, I want to be able to say "your mom and I did everything we could to make our marriage work." I don't want to say "your mom checked out of the marriage and decided she wanted a divorce after only a few months of trying and I gave up at that point."
Regardless if our marriages work or not, we need to do it standing up for what we believe in. That way we will have no regrets.
Mr. Bond, I hope I'm not stepping over the line because I've been reading a lot of what you have to say and it's been very helpful to me. You said it took 3 years for your W talked to you about anything. Were you able to DB and reconcile? Again, I apologize if I'm overstepping but I obviously value the opinion of someone who did this for 3 years.
