It is painfully obvious that Steve wants his W back and his resignation to do nothing is still an attempt to win her back. To just sit back and let her run wild until she's done and comes back and does it again. It's sad. The only right thing to do in this sitch is to get the ball rolling on the divorce. For 3 reasons...
1) Steve's D is watching thinking this is normal behavior for a W and will follow in mom's footsteps.
2) Steve's S is watching thinking this is how marriage is and will follow in dad's footsteps and go through what he's going through now.
3) Steve seems to be a genuinely good guy that doesn't deserve to be eating all these $hit sandwiches his WW keeps feeding him. He deserves to be happy, and despite what he thinks, he will NEVER be happy with her. It just won't happen. Ever.
Stop being the martyr, Steve. You've fought long enough and put up a good fight. There is no shame in leaving this toxic relationship. If you're so worried about being the good guy and doing the right thing, get out of this relationship and stop subjecting yourself and your kids to this torture. You mention your military past. I wonder what kind of advice your military buddies would give you if you were sitting around with them and told them your W cheated on you 8 times and and basically told you to sit down and be a good boy while she plays GGW...
