Thank you so much.
Cinder, why do I have to be someone who feels so deeply? Why can't I be like the rest of the world and just say screw him and walk away.
Why do I keep loving him and having FAITH in G-d that my M will be restoree.

Hope springs eternal.
Once upon a time, I went to a session at a religious convention. I went to this session only....not the other three days of sessions. The speaker was a conservative Christian minister who had been divorced and later remarried - to the same woman.
His opinion was there is hope for any marriage - until one of the partners marries someone else. At that time, the previously marriage is irretrievably broken.
Queenie, I spent 2.5 years fighting for my marriage. I had multiple appts with my internist to deal w/ stress related conditions caused by wanting that marriage so badly. After 2.5 years, I decided I had to stop the insanity.....you know, when the doctor tells you that you are a few heartbeats a minute away from tachycardia, you know you have to do something to regain some control. That's how far I went to keep my marriage. That was when I finally succumbed and filed for a divorce.
I wasted a lot of years being depressed about it. So many years that it saddens me sometimes.
"Let go and let G-d"
Queenie, you can only do so much. Your h is just in some spiritual wilderness.
I entertained the idea that my h could come back until he married wife #2. But, the reality is, that the man I married may have been a sham, a lie.
Right now, maybe what you need to do is pray for you to be restored. For you to be healed.....and for your husband to be healed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My analogy:
A marriage is like a car. It is made of multiple parts.
If the car (marriage) breaks down, you want to fix it. So, you take it to the mechanic (counselor). If he just pokes on it, nothing will really change. First he has to figure out what is really wrong. Then he has to fix the broken pieces (people). As long as the pieces (people) remain broken, the car (marriage) can't be fixed.
Now, you want the marriage fixed. Right? So, you can only do so much. You can pray. You can work on Queenie. But, you can not fix your husband. He has to want to be fixed. Until he is fixed, the marriage can't be fixed.
Now, G-d can work miracles. He does that daily. But, He has given us the freedom to choose many things. And, in this case, your husband has the freedom to choose to remain broken. Until he surrenders to G-d's healing, he may remain broken.
You are not all powerful in this situation. G-d, having given mankind the power to choose, is not all powerful in all situations. Because, we can choose to turn away from Him.
G-d CAN restore your marriage. But, your husband has to choose personal healing and restoration.
I know there are many who might think this view is a bit heretical but there are many examples of G-d not getting His way. Of His children wandering in their own spiritual wilderness.
Queenie, you may just have to Let Go & Let God on this one.
Think about the 12 Steps....we admitted we are powerless. We turned things over to our higher power.
Hope is one thing.
But don't let hoping for something you can't control ruin the here and now!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MICAH 6:8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

EVIDENCE of GOD'S presence..his GRACE... And that Satan isn't winning. Even though there is still BAD in the world. Those who follow G-d are still on the winning side. The GODDESS and WARRIOR side.
