Sorry you're hurting. And it's understandable.

But I would encourage you to look at it like this: if I'm reading your story right, you're only a couple of weeks into a journey that will be months long at a minimum. Maybe your wife is still deadset on divorce, but that's what all WASs say at this stage. The fact that she acknowledges and appreciates your changes is a good sign. Doesn't mean your marriage is saved by any means. But it means she's seeing something. And if you keep those changes going over time, even as she keeps moving toward divorce, that's when they're going to make a difference. That's when she can start believing that they're real and permanent, and not just temporary or a ploy to win her back. That's what will make her start questionning her decision if anything will.

Keep doing what you can to DB/180/GAL. It's consistency over time that makes the difference for the WAS and the marriage...and for you.
