Thanks for the feedback. Though I may be looking at it too much from my perspective, I've been reasoning much like you lac69. I have also thought that since I know she is running from our marriage, it may be an effort to block out the good parts that she doesn't want to confront out of being hurt. IE: it's easier to pretend everything is bad and justify running when there are no visual reminders of a a good life shared with your spouse. A couple of weeks into this ordeal, she began to try to guilt me by dropping comments about how she has nothing but her clothes and how she has to sleep on couches at friends' houses etc., as if I asked her to do it. So, I offered for her to stay at our place when I was out of town for a few days on biz, but she refused, even after complaining. I reasoned that she wasn't just trying to get away from me, but her entire life with me. The other variable is that we are renters, and our lease is up in about a month, and I am wondering if she is just waiting until then to get her stuff.
