This totally sucks.
Donna - I know you read the boards. Once the "D" thing happens - it's too late. Too late hasn't happened yet though, and it's really time to consider carefully what choices are being made.
No - I don't know the "whole story." I do know this though... there's NOTHING that can't be worked out.
Consider how rare a man David is. Consider the good times. Consider that a big change for the better is only a phone call away. Consider what the bible says about divorce. Consider whether all the years are worth throwing away. Consider the possbility that a big "win" is being handed to Satan - who WANTS you two to fail, and is partying his butt off right now.
David - You must be willing to accept that maybe you'll never work in the I.T. industry again. For every door that closes - another opens. One must be willing to walk through the door.

After all you two have been through - this is not the time to pull apart. You both made a commitment. Ask yourself if your own pride and human failings are worth more than something that many people search their entire lives for... and never find.
How do I know all of this? TWO divorces, that's how. You can NEVER go back once it's done. Yes - people try, but it's never the same, it's only different. Maybe different is OK - maybe not - but this is a step you'll both regret - probably for the rest of your lives.
Bury the hostility, forget the past, lose your pride - and work it out. You'll not have another chance. I wish you both the best - but I wish you the best together -- as it should be.
