[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess you have been married 7-9 years?  Those are rough stages...it gets better.  Commit yourself to SERIOUSLY working on it, every.single.day. and see where you are in 6 months.[/quote]

[b]problem is that if she is not committed to working on it as an equal partner with just as much at stake, the marriage cannot be salvaged and you will become bitter and angry - that is not the type of environment you want to have for your children.[/b]

many resources out there to successfully raise children in a split household - and many folks have done or are currently doing it.  it is not without challenges for sure, but a hell of a lot better than being absolutely miserable.[/quote]

How often is it, though, that both people commit to working on the marriage at the same time?  I would say in a troubled marriage one party has to get the ball rolling and then hopefully the other person will catch on.  We have to remember that OP's wife has a POV too.  She may say that she's exhausted, that he puts in no effort, doesn't help "organize" if that's what he wants so much, is a bad sexual partner, patronizes her, who knows what.  I'm not saying OP does any of that necessarily, but it takes two people to make a bad marriage.[/quote]
