You are not giving up on hope. You need to look at it a different way. Do you want to stay married to this person as they are right now? Probably not. You want to give up on how this person is right now. Your hope is this person will grow and come out of their personal fog and become a person who you want to be with again. So don't loose hope for the future, just give up on the present.
