Ok.. thats fine and why people come here.

You say earlier that these changes are for you.

But yet.. above you reference these changes as the reason you hope she will give you another chance. Which confirms what we all expect you are doing. Which is convincing yourself that if you improve you are going to save your marriage.

The changes you have made are on a surface level. Yes they are changes .. but love and marriage is not about surface level love.

Its a deeper issue based on trust, safety, common goals and compassion.

It seems at this stage.. that you are struggling to understand that these emotions in your marriage have been deteriorating for some time. You wife has most likely checked out on all of the above - so when she sees you making these small changes, she will comment as she sees you makimg the effort - but on a deeper level you are not making a difference.

You are trying to play a game when you dont know the rules.

When people say you need to let them go to rebuild the true foundations of a relationship they mean it. It takes years not weeks of being alone and losing everything to enable you to go through the self reflection and growth needed to be the person you need to be.

I personally cant say anymore on this matter as you seem to believe things are going to change because you feel differently. This isnt the case unfortunately.

As someone who speaks the hundreds of people on this matter and has been through it myself and had a successful ending.. i advise this because its not far wrong.. please listen and try to stop holding onto quick fixes to avoid the pain.
