Hi. Thought I would swing by your thread and see how your doing!
I do understand where you are coming from, in that you kind of feel you want to give up, which in a way is the easier option. At least, if you agreed to separate then you may feel there was some closure or progress. But, separation and subsequent divorce etc is going take years as well.
Continuing to try to work on yourself and support your kids and wife is a good way to go for now in my opinion. I have times most days where I just want to pack it in as well, but I keep finding a ray of hope somewhere in all this mess, that maybe we can reconcile. My latest hope is following the DB Approach and doing some proper 180's.
Not sure if I can do them, but without trying, will I be able to walk away from the marriage satisfied that I did everything I could. I don't think so.
I wish you all the best in your journey, and keep on posting.
