You are not wasting your time or being stupid. Time is not wasted because you have improved yourself. So progress has been made. You have made yourself into a person who at least on your side, can make a relationship work long term. It is never stupid to want to reconcile with the person we stood beside on the altar and took vows with.

Does that mean your M can be saved? No one can say that. Only time will tell. I know that stinks. It very well may be saved, but it may very well take a long time. Longer than you may be able to withstand. Only you can decide just how long and how much heart and soul you can put into this. I hate it for you. I hate it for everyone on this forum. But each of us has a unique yet all to familiar path we have to walk. Some of us will succeed and some wont. And much of it will have nothing to do with us as individuals but the WAS and who they are and what they care capable of.

Best of luck to you!!!
