 Re: Giving up on wife
I have been where you've been. I got out of that 13 years ago and never looked back. My divorce from that woman represented not only a "death," but a "New Life" as well. By my leaving, I was choosing not to die with her, but to be alive, for my kids, for my friends and family, and most of all, for me.
You are being beaten, emotionally. Ask any Physician or mental health professional...this will destroy you just as surely as if you were being beaten physically. IF you were being beaten physically, nobody would be telling you to "see a counselor" or to "stick around until you work it out," they'd be telling you to GET OUT, NOW!
If things change, or she changes, you can always come back. There is no "coming back" from an early death brought about by the kind of stress and despondancey you're feeling.
Somewhere out there, a woman is feeling the same way about her marriage that you are about yours. You'll never meet her while you're locked into the miserable situation you're in right now.
