Maximus, sometimes I think of putting a "deadline" on my M too, but then I think, what will that accomplish? I don't want to be divorced, and I don't want my kids to be in a D home. If things get worse, if H starts raging and getting drunk and threatening suicide again, or seeing OW again, then yes, I probably will end things. But I decided to hold off on a deadline because if at any time I find that it is too hard to keep trying I can decide at that time. But as for now, I will keep plugging away for as long as it takes. Just my two cents.
