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.
