I will pray for God to open your wife’s heart and eyes. The grass is often not greener on the other side. You are also correct about your grown children being hurt - I was 35 when my parents divorced and it was hard.
Thank you so very much. I’ll expand on this in another reply, but someone said there are two sides to every story and this is of course true without fail, true here. I am imperfect and have failed on many accounts and many occasions. I have confessed my shortcomings, sincerely repented when appropriate, and will do whatever necessary to repair my wrongs. I have made all of this clear to her and will continue to do so.
Again, thank you so very much for the blessings of friends who understand and help with prayer.
