LS,

I'm basing this on my situation so i could be totally wrong.

Do you really think your wife seriously wants a drastic change
in her life, to be independent and do all these things she
is doing. You know going out, partying etc.?

My wife is doing the same things. She is actually doing things
that SHE complained about people doing in the past. I think it's
just an escape and because she is in a fog of emotions. I believe
that she will eventually get exhausted from it and realize that
no, this is not what she really wants.

My W was someone who was totally committed to her family, loved
spending family time together, would rather go do something as
a family or with me than go out and party etc. The things she is
doing now are not like her. I highly doubt she is just going to
keep this new life up full time and forget all about the old
self.

That is how I look at my situation.

Could I be wrong? Of course, but when you really look deeper
into it I think my analysis is pretty damn good considering.

Can you step outside your relationship and outside your self
and analyze the situation and really try and look at it from
a distance?

I don;t want to say all this to try and give you a false sense
of hope, I just think that when a women or man for that matter
makes these kinds of drastic changes its hard to believe they
are permanent changes.

I just noticed my W again was all over my stuff all morning from
the time she got up until just a little while ago. I think she
is starting to realize that what she really wants is starting to
slip away from her.

I like your idea about taking your ring off. I really do think
need to detach from her and show her that you are dead serious
about moving on... and you NEED TO BE DEAD SERIOUS not just using
it as a tactic to get her back.

Right now I am split 50/50. I will take my wife back and work
on our problems if she choices, but I will also move on and let
her go too.
