You were all right...unfortunately...

IC,
I guess I'm trying to reason through this myself. My frame of mind today is that at some point she just became fed up with me and now she needs some space to decide. I really think I'm dealing with a walk-a-way wife here. I think the EA and the naked pics were just her testing the waters to see if she has a chance in the single world as a 50 year old grandmother. She wants to explore her options and see how they feel. Although everyone tells me I'm a nice guy, I haven't always been there when she needed me (and the guilt is pretty bad), and money has always been a huge source of tension for us (me:saver, she:spender). I think it got to the point where she just had enough. I've changed a lot, but I think she's waiting to see if the change is going to last. Meanwhile, she's gonna do a little exploration.

So I'm going "dark" for awhile. Totally back off. Let her find herself. I'm going to focus on myself and talk to you guys to help me through. And keep telling myself, no matter what she chooses to do, I'll be ok.
