My parents marriage was effectively over by the time I was 12. But they 'kept it together for the kids'. What a freaking nightmare. Absolute nightmare. Our homelife was a trainwreck. My parents were both so unhappy with their homelife that they escaped into their own lives outside.
If you and the wife can find a space to make a marriage again, then great. I hope you guys work this out. But please, please, don't stay in some toxic marriage, because all you are doing its raising your children in a toxic soup. I grew up with it, and I still see how it effects me to this day.
