Help?

So here's my story....My wife and I have been married for eight years. We met and were engaged within 2 months. We have three beautiful children, aged 3, 4, and 9. I've always loved her, but I've made some terrible mistakes as a husband. I cheated on her 5 years ago...I've developed a drinking problem, and been dishonest about it, which has created a lot of trust issues. I've taken responsibility for all my shortcomings...but I am very aware of how much I've hurt her.

So now things are really falling apart. What really complicates things is that I am halfway across the country from her. I have no choice but to be here in order to make enough money to give her and the kids a good life, but it makes it very difficult to work things out.

She is very distrustful of me, and she feels that I'm not putting any effort into saving our marriage. I've told her again and again that if there is anything to save, I want to try, but I just don't know what I am supposed to do from 3000 kms away. She keeps saying that she doesn't know if there is anything left to save...I just don't know what to think or do anymore.....I know its my fault...all my failures are catching up...I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has been in this type of situation....

Put the internet to work for you.
