Not sure I agree with this, if marriage were easy the D rate wouldn't be 50%, and lets not forget about the couples who stay together for whatever reason but are unhappy.
My sibling run down- -one brother has never been married (he's 54) -one brother is divorced -my other brother has been married for 15+ years but is miserable in a sexless marriage, staying together for his kid and finances, -one sister is divorced and another long term R of 12+ years ended -my other sister has been married for 20+ years and has told me they are both unhappy but are staying together for financial reasons, they own a business together, separate rooms for a couple of years now.
That's just my family! I'm not saying you should stay with your H and continue fighting for your M, just saying it's not easy. Anything worth having is worth fighting for...maybe your H isn't worth having anymore. There is no shame in what you've done, but only you can make the decision of whether to keep trying to put your M back together. The important thing is keep fighting for YOU and your daughter.
For the record, I continue to tell my brother and sister in the miserable marriages to either fight for the marriage or move on but to at least fight for themselves...so far they are doing none of the above!
