I don't know. Life is such a mixed up journey and you don't always know if you've made the right choice till it's too late.
Well, I think the worst thing you could do in this situation is make a rash decision. Discuss the situation with your wife, and let her know that you feel you're drifting apart. Divorce shouldn't be something to consider unless you've talked things out together. I know someone that just sprung divorce papers on her husband without ever even mentioning the problems to him or giving him a chance to fix what was wrong.
Personally, I would much rather put in a few extra years of effort with the wrong person than bail on the right one too early becuase of a slump in the marriage.
