Wife says she wants to work on it, however she is not trying 100%. This week, counselor asked if we wanted to try to go out together (most of our outings have been with friends or kids). She said yes as long as it was as friends. That was very hurtful and makes me feel that she has given up, but doesn't want to take the next step of breaking up the family.

I know the changes I am making should be for me, but it gets very hard when you feel like you are the only one really trying to make things work. I am happy for the things I have learned about myself and no matter what, think that they will help me in the future.

Another question, is it wrong for me to want to give her my wedding band back? I don't feel like there is much meaning behind it right now.
