Hey TrojanHorse, not sure if you meant this comment to me or the OP. But would typically agree, I tried this 6 years ago the last time my soon to be ex wife wanted a divorce, but she did not want to be around "When I die" due to some health issues I was having. This will be my 3rd time having to deal with her wanting a divorce. I've seen her call 3 other men her husband on her chat sessions, seeing notes of an affair and various other things. My marriage has gone beyond it's course and should have been ended for my own psychological well being many years ago.
This being just a tip of the iceberg of what occurred to my marriage, professional help would not have helped in my case. I'm at a point in my life that I'm just no longer willing to take this kind of nonsense from a relationship. I no longer need to hold on.
Other cases like the OP's professional help might be helpful. As long as there is still some love between the spouse and kids, communication just needs to be worked on and seeing a specialist could be beneficial.
