I agree with the need to GAL. I know what you're going through with the emotions. When she says those dreaded words listen and don't defend yourself. I understand the weight loss, I've lost going on 60lbs myself, need to shop.

One thing my sitch has done, is I've gotten closer to my kids(26 to 19yo). W used to call S26 and D24 and keep me updated, now I call them myself twice a week, and hang out with D24 one day a week. GAL is hard for me to do right now but I'll be starting soon. Just had quad bypass surgery 10/15. Hung out with S25 last night at local pub.

Come here to vent and for good advice, try not to look or sound sad or needy when you talk with W. I know it's hard to be upbeat and positive, but whiny and needy will drive her farther away. A lot of us have done that. Try to make changes that will draw her back, become the man she fell in love with again.
