I gave up on saving my marriage a couple of weeks ago because when I actually sit down and think about the past couple of years with my W I don't like what I see. If, and it's a big if, we were ever to reconcile things have to be drastically different or I would find myself here again a couple years down the line.
I think I am on same route. Don't like it, but I am sure that I will change, and definitely not same person. Things must be different, because I did lots of compromises to keep thing running, while other side did less (as I see it).

It is a mix, I like this new woman's body, but what I miss is the old wife's good days personality. There were bad days and I don't miss those.
