DFE, I'm very sorry that you're going through this. I can relate to a lot of how you're feeling. I too have felt lost trying to do anything I possibly could to save my family while my W seems very happy to just D and move on with her life. My W also seems very resentful and angry. When someone is angry they don't tend to act rationally so the best thing you can do is give them time and space.

From what you have said so far it seems the best thing to do would be to just let your H cool off, take care of yourself and give things a chance to settle down. It would be a good idea to read or re-read the DB/DR books and review Sandi's 37 rules.

It is very easy to feel lost and hopeless but one thing I've told myself on a daily basis is that no matter how bad things can seem today anything is possible tomorrow.

It's been said a 1000 times on these forums but the best advice I think for any LBS is to work on YOU. Make yourself the best you can be, a spouse that anyone would be crazy to leave. It takes a LOT of work and strength but if you've been fighting this hard for your M you obviously are a strong person, you can do it!
