Gordie, i think it's interesting how many parallels there are between many of our situations here...
I am in a similar position with my W right now as she even told me today that she was sorry for what i had to endure and that she doesn't know how i could take it all for so long.
As for the comment above, i believe that we are waiting for our Wives to get "better", so that they show true progress toward becoming "whole" again. THAT is the situation that we are anticipating. I have even told my W that i am hopeful and that i believe in her to get her life back together, in which case there is a chance for us! If that will NOT happen though in any form, then no, i obviously do not see a future for us in that case!
