So far it has been 7 weeks of steadily getting worse. In the beginning it seemed she was in 2 minds or at least not 100% dedicated, then it went downhill, though it appears that she is slacking off a bit.

She still seems to be off the rails a bit with the smoking loads and spending time with the deadbeats. It looks like low self esteem stuff or something.

She moved some stuff out about 2 weeks ago, small things like her books and some teddies and a dinner set and she has packed a box but not got much in it. Nothing else has been moved.

Her bedroom door is open more so, sometimes half way and sometimes just ajar.

The marriage certificate is still in the study and the estate agents (real estate) details have not gone back to them to put the house on the market, finally I have not heard anything from the solicitors about the divorce papers.

I have done some 180's and GAL, but I belive the issue was that she felt neglected and rejected by me so i am not sure that going out so much is good so may reel that back in a bit to make sure I am there a bit more and talk to her when the oppertunity arises (not R stuff). I also want to put my wedding ring back on.

I do love my wife more than anything and want us to forge a new and stronger relationship, its just waiting for her to stop and realise that it is not so bad and that we can move forward together.

Speaking with my little sister she believes that everything will turn out alright as my W has always been adamant that she loves me loads. Little sis also thinks that it will still be a bit hard for a few more weeks.

I believe that there are some positives but I am unsure how to move forward if at all possible. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatfully recieved, especially if they are from a WAW.

Thanks all
