I often wonder if this started out as MLC / running away but has progressed to her really just not being in love with me any more.
How do we ever really know? I guess we don't.
That's pretty wise, frank. Maybe no one ever knows, or few know. It seems to me it's better to assume it isn't until you've tried everything, than assume it is and assume it will get better, unless you can't anymore. And then I pray your spouse will DB YOU back.
YOU and YOU ALONE set your conditions for her return. Frank, go deep for this. This shouldn't come from ANYONE HERE.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE.
And What would be the FIRST SIGN that it was going that way.
The truth is you almost never get the whole thing at once. You get baby steps. And YOU will know what they are, if you're paying attention. Don't let anyone talk you into them, and especially don't let anyone talk you out of them.
In general some folks are fine if their spouse doesn't come back. I could be wrong, but my gut tells me you're not one of them....your posts lead me to believe you still want the miracle. IF YOU COULDN'T FAIL...WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
