Absolutely not. I think Stan as an individual wants to stay married, mostly, even though they've had problems; but Sandra's pretty clearly just done. I think it would take an awful lot at this stage to get Sandra to even consider it. It's not that she doesn't care about Stan, or about their relationship, but I think from her point of view the last while (years, probably) with Stan has been piling on the problems with no progress made in changing anything. And I don't think it would be wrong of her to put that mostly at Stan's door. He has his reasons, and his job contributed in many ways we probably haven't even begun to explore yet, but his attempts to communicate and deal with the problems were 1. almost kind of halfhearted, really? 2. waaaaaay late, and 3. complicated by his affair. Stan has not put his family as his priority, at all, for a long time, and that's had consequences. I don't think they'll go away anytime soon.
