Steps,

It all sounds too familiar.

My W is in the same relationship with her ex-kickboxing coach (10 years her junior).

She told me the same things when she started to have feelings for him back around X-mas.

I didn't handle it too well, and did all the wrong things for around 3 months, pushing her closer to him.

Their R is still EA, and she doesn't know how he feels about her, but she too told me she cared for me but was no longer in love with me.

Thats after 17 years of infactuation with each other. MLC is a pain, you have done the right thing and let her go. Too much pressure would push her further and further away.

Have a look at the MLC links, your story is pretty much going to the plan of an MLC wife.

Give her time, without any pressure from you, and hopefully things may get less cloudy for her.

I know that when I found out about OM, and employed DR, she has made a lot of baby steps and has become more pleasant around me. She still see's him due to her common interests but I don't think the feelings are as intense as when I nearly pushed her into his arms (PA).

I also noticed that when I employed GAL, she has become more interested in my daily activities.

Hang in there buddy.
