There is a lot of focus here on the kids and trying to keep the M going for them.

My kids are grown adults and will survive this probably better than I will.

So albac for me the kids are out of the picture. Why am I trying so hard to save my M? Why am I putting up with pain and sorrow? I'm doing it because I love my W. I'm doing it because I remember the 26 years of a wonderful love story. I'm doing it because I hope that this is just a bump in the road. I'm doing it because she was my best friend and I will not abandon her.

This is counter to 90% of the advice that I see here but I say - don't do it for the kids. Do it because you feel that it is the right thing for you, your W and your family.
