Wife gone...Is there hope

Strange (do you think you could have a better name )

It's kind of nice managing everything all by yourself, isn't it. I think it's good that you are keeping everything up, might as well since you might have to for the forseeable future.

Nomopo asked about contact. I think it's natural to feel like you are giving the impression that you don't care when you don't contact her. But it's very hard to force contact if the other party doesn't want to hear from you. But is that true in your case? Does it result in negatives if you call her up once in a while and just shoot the breeze or see how she's doing? It's transparent what your motives are, but if she greets you warmly and doesn't act like she wants off the phone after 10 seconds then it's probably okay to contact her on occasion. As for your anniversary, I think it's appropriate to at least say that you regret on your anniversary that it's come to this, you wish it had turned out differently, but your thankful for the time that you did have together.

Anyway, I wouldn't change the locks, but I probably would open a new banking account. It is just not feasible for both of you to be drawing from the same account. Take from the joint one what you think is fair and open a new account. Let her know that you intend to close the account in a week and she should open her own.
