Wow, you just summed up a lot of my feelings too, although I don't want to walk away from my W.
I've been following my gut a lot lately and it really never lets me down. I also felt that going dark is a giant mistake and will only enable my W to move right on into this OM life.
All I can say is to search yourself and if you really feel going dark is not right for YOUR situation then you should try something else.
I'm coming out of the dark this week. I'll be working on our house so I'll be around my wife pretty much daily since I'll be over there every day. All I plan on doing is staying busy, staying positive around her and if there are opportunities to talk I'll play along. NO R TALK THOUGH. Happy happy talk. It will be tough, but I know that's the right thing to do.
Dark has not been good for my sitch. My wife actually told me this when we were separated in the past. She said she was really hurt that I was not talking to her, she said it seemed like I no longer cared about her.
I wonder what your wife really thinks about you going dark on her?
Women are really good at hiding emotions so they are impossible to read. This is another reason I tend to not like going dark, bit all our sitchs are different.
