This.  And how old are they now?[/quote]
2 kids that are 9 and 7[/quote]

I would owe it to my kids to take him up on his change of heart.  Sometimes it does take marriage partners seeing that somebody is going to truly walk before they realize how bad things are and how much you mean it.  That can cause a true change of heart---the thought of a future without you and as a family.

The worst that can happen--whatever he does is not good enough and you know you did everything possible and can leave on good terms with no regrets.

I will say as somebody that has kids HS age, a lot of the marital issues take seed after kids are born and peak right around where you are now---they often are not permanent but many just bail thinking it will only get worse.  Long marriages will have peaks and flows and if you work on it--can turn out better than you imagined.  AS you move forward, the kids will take up less and less of your time and you will often start seeing your spouse differently...especially if you both commit to therapy and change which it sounds like he is finally on board with.[/quote]
