No, no don’t give up. There is hope for your marriage, how slim it is only you have a true feel for. I’m impressed with your list of changes/efforts. All are excellent first steps. Be sure these are written in stone for you. If not you’ll find yourself in the same boat sometime down the road. Your attempts to give her space and be there to support her is a tough wire to walk but an excellent philosophy. As the two of you try to move forward be aware this will take time and a lot of effort on both of your parts. Though it may be important to you it would be best to put the sexual intimacy off for now. She is not likely to respond and engaging in it may be a step back emotionally for her. Begin to slowly work towards physical intimacy such as a hug or kiss. Communicate as best you can but don’t go overboard in deep discussions. Seek counsel for you both. You will likely need help in all of this. You are just at the start of your journey back to a happy marriage. Be caring and consistent for her feelings. Keep your confidence up and be as positive around her as you can be. Good luck.
