When you want your marriage to work

But you have come to a place in yourself where you are so mentally gone from the marriage. you have no trust left, you are an overbearing controlling person whom is damaged badly from the past, from before you met your wife, you had an affair out of anger and loneliness and despair and resentment, in your mind you cannot face the person whom you have become. I'm just done as a man and as a person. my counselor asked me "am I prepared for if my marriage doesn't work out?"... My wife asked me " can I cope as a person if I ever ended the marriage, could I live with myself if someone else pursued her, could I manage if I ended up with someone new"?....

The counselor asked both my wife and I the same question. it's a rhetorical question , mainly. meant to get me to face reality.

I am not prepared, I would most likely end up a drug addict in skidrow, with the current state of my mind.

Feeling lost... that's tough.. keep talking to people you trust.. don't shut yourself down... with time you will slowly find yourself.... you will gain strength and love again

If I could truly be helped to overcome the overbearing controlling person whom I've become, if I could be helped to let go of all the past hurt and hatred I have for certain people, if I could be helped to forgive my self and forgive others, if I could be helped to change fully to who I really am, underneath all the scars I would want to stay in my marriage, and if I decided to leave the marriage id at least be able to be a better man for someone else, including myself....
