I'm the left behind spouse of a WAW with no kids. I sure it makes it easier for the leaving spouse to come to a decison if there are no childen involved.
In my situation, I was pretty clueless as to the extent of my wifes unhappiness. We never ever had any sort of discussion on problems in our marrage. I guess was very stupid not to see what was going on. She left with no warning of a seperation and went cold on me almost immediately. She has never told me she loves me or even kissed me since she told me she wanted out (not even a kiss on the cheak). I thought we were real soulmates and I am now totally devastated. We are slowly getting back to being on friendly terms and are meeting about once a week for dinner. Even went bowling 2 weeks ago.
I seriously need to learn patience if I'm going to get through this.
Anyway..I'm very glad to find this forum
