Ideal 08,
This is not an easy situation. I would consider the seriousness of the vow I made to my spouse upon marriage as God views all vows seriously ("in sickness and in health..forsaking all others for as long as you both shall live). Marital vows are mentioned in the Bible in the book of Numbers 30, and demonstrates the seriousness of taking them before God. If I went outside of the marriage for love and support, I'd be committing adultery with someone who I wouldn't be helping by getting involved with them (because in a cheating situation, what goes around comes around).
For my own sanity, I'd probably need to pick up more assistance with taking care of my spouse and raising the children. My spouse may regain his senses as anything is possible. I would remain prayerful and believe God for total healing of the situation.
