Im still trying to understand how this time is different than before. You said you were here and had success in reigniting your marriage and commitment. What would be different about the third go-round? To me, it reads like you are only interested in W when you cant have her.

I am taking all the blame. I can do no right.

I cry opely about my situation.

I mean, how is any of what you are doing attractive? Playing the hurt puppy dog and making her out to be the bad guy IS controlling and manipulative. You 'take all the blame' but sit around moping and pouting.....how is that protecting the kids? To me, thats just exposing them to your issues.
